imo digital art is a completely legitimate art form. from image manipulation by well respected photographers who have embraced new technology to enable them to do what would be impossible in the dark room, to more cutting edge digital pieces created by young artists, it covers a wide area. but if it's good, it's good. there is no point in gettiing into the whole "what is art?" argument.
i'm from bristol, in south west england, and here there is a whole digital art community. the university of the west of england, which is based in bristol, runs a time based media/digital course, and the use of new media technology is expected and encouraged. we have two arts/media centres which exhibit a diverse range of digital art
so, it obviously depends where you go.
it is "proper" art, it just depends on whether it's any good or not.
