Do you have an example. From that description I don't exactly know what you mean. Are you speaking of art similar to the iPod commercials?

.... yeah you'll need to post an example. I have no idea what you are talking about.

"In a world without walls or fences, what need have we for windows or gates?"

Looks like your basic fantasy artwork. Basic Photoshopping of elements. Certainly not what I thought of in your first desription.

I would consider this a form of digital illustration. While it employs some basic "art" and technique, it tells a kind of story. Also, it doesn't stay within a consistent medium... In physical arts we usually call pieces with many different employments of media to exist within the realm of illustration.

Hope that makes you feel better
I say this because art these days is going through a massive wake-up call. Granted, we have been trying to define "what is art" since the days we only had caves and different colored rocks...

Yours,

R
