That seems a convoluted disticntion.

When I see these pieces in museums I've seen the piece not the algorithm. I should call the artists and museum curators and tell them they are doing it wrong.

I suppose with digital art the art is the brushes and the log of movements, not the final .png

The intent for the artists is to create the final images, the thing that the viewer enjoys is the final images. I think it's easy to asume than the final images are art. Even if you also want to consider the code itself a piece of art, that's totally ok.

I’ve really painted myself in the corner with my semantics, pun intended.

Before we delve too deeply into these definitions, and because I have to pick up a family member from the airport in a few minutes, i’ll just leave a few links that illustrate (pun intended, again) my point a bit better.

The arts or creative arts are a vast range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling, and cultural participation. The arts encompass diverse and plural modes of thinking, doing, and being in an extensive range of media.
