Art is in the eye of the beholder...
During my studies in the late 80s, I worked in an electronic parts shop... you know, for hobbyists (yes, they existed back then).
A young woman came once a week to rummage through our resistors (Philips SFR25, pale green body) to find the nicest colour combinations for making ear rings, bracelets and neck laces.
Sold the "jewellery" with great success in the city centre.
That's art as well, I suppose.
I shudder to think of the RoHS implications, but no big deal back then.
