A change of art

I have never been an expert in art, but it's been an important part of my adult life.  It's been an interest (or possibly even a passion) which has driven me to travel more and seek or more things to see.

I've enjoyed visiting modern art galleries in particular, seeing how art has developed and changed over the last century.  But even that art now seems far less on the edge with the growing digital art trend.
It shouldn't be surprising.
What is art after all?  It is merely something sitting within a gallery?  Something which someone with a degree in art history has deemed to be "art"? 
Or is it simply just an expression of thought and ideas?  Something intangible that someone, somewhere had tried to capture in some form, whatever that may be?
Walking through the different displays, I couldn't say I liked everything.  But at the very least, I could appreciate that this was a new medium with which to appreciate something a bit different.  For me, that was more than enough.
