IMO art is just something “useless but pretty” that humans produce. I don’t think emotion is really a requirement. e.g. Mondrian painted lines and colored rectangles and it’s considered art but I don’t see much emotion in those works. In fact I’d say these represent the exact opposite of emotion: logic, order and rigidity.
Defining arts is pointless as artists just love to break out of such definitions.
Now you’ve entered the eternal debate about what is and isn’t art, but IMO if a human produced it without any emotion whatsoever (which might actually be impossible), then it’s just a design. Art is communication of emotion.
