The problem is, you're trying to base games as art around the concept that what makes them art are other artistic mediums. There's music, which is art. There's still frames which are art. There are moving pictures which are art. There is a story which is art. None of these make games art. They make their original components art. What you need to find is what makes games an artistic medium on it's own merit. In my opinion it's the interactivity that makes it art. Steer clear of music, still frames and moving pictures because all that proves is that the three of them are artistic mediums and gaming is borrowing them.
