By that logic photography is not your work either

Depends. If you just let the camera swing and let it randomly shoot then it isn't. If youre framing it and composing it that's your work. But no just putting a camera on a cat and letting it randomly take pics isn't your work.

but what if that was the intent behind the artwork? if I want a series of random photos and say it's an art piece from the pov of Spider-Man swinging around but the setup is just hanging a camera and letting it take pictures on its own as it swings, is that still copyrightable art? If so, is art all about the intent behind the process and the process itself doesn't matter?

The above commenter is factually correct. Quit downvoting him, you bandwagon-following dipshits!
