Perhaps you could explain what you mean.
How exactly did you interpret what I wrote?

What if the video source was edited to silence and put together well, would it still be the same kind of "art" you see in this video? How about if we use the same audio source but with a different video source with a different style of dancing and put together well, would it still be the same kind of "art" you see in this video? What if the video used the same video and audio source, but edited poorly, would it still be the same kind of "art" you see in this video? What if the house blew up? Would it still be the same kind of "art" you see in this video?
Clearly I think we're still asking the wrong questions here, as break dancing can be as artistic as ballet, it just varies from person to person. We shouldn't be asking whether if it's artistic or not, but why is it artistic to whomever watches it. Or something along those lines.

However, I'm not sure why people seem to think that this video is more "artsy" than any other.
I have heard many different people Hold this video above all others as proof that AMVs can be art but I just don't see it.
I mean I agree it's art, and I like the video, but I just don't get how it's more ART.
Perhaps someone can explain that to me.
This is going to sound mildly racist, but my guess is because the song is in French...
