Drymounting is fine for inkjet prints. Seek a low temperature adhesive, set your press temperature accordingly, follow all typical precautions about dust, pre-heat the mountboard to drive out moisture, and clamp the work after it leaves the press to prevent curl. You'll be just fine.
Is it art? Sure it's art. Pretend it's really, really thick art once it's been mounted.
BTW, if you're mounting to a fiber-based product (matboard, masonite, etc), consider sealing or shellacking the back of the mountboard or humidity changes can warp the final product due to differences in moisture diffusion through the front/back of the finished piece.
