I think a viewer can decide something is art unintentionally by evaluating it as art. If you need an artist to intend, then I guess the viewer is that artist because they are the one who made it art.

People can decide non-artistic things are aesthetically pleasing and apply the label of art to them but without a creator you can't have art.

But if it's a good a human designed - that designer had artistic intentions.
