Digital Art, Art in its own right or Art entirely apart?

Mankind has probably never been so prolific in the artistic field as in our time. Our time has witnessed the appearance of new words and popular concepts that are in vogue and very fashionable: Cyberart, digital works, multimedia art, etc.. Many artists will claim the status of digital works, for their productions and make this new space their specific field of expression. In addition, a new category of individuals constituted of Webmasters, Computer Graphics, Designers, claims the status of digital artists. And it is in this context that the problem of digital artistic creation arises. Faced with all this, the need for a specialized lighting is felt. Does digital art deserve a place among all movements and art forms in the great artistic classifications? Or is there an ontological or non-ontological reason why digital creations cannot be recognized as truly artistic? Is digital art an art in its own right or an art entirely apart?
