Everyone sees things differently, but saying that AMVs are on a par with a sculpture is not something I agree with - portraits and sculptures, when done to a certain artistic level require a lot more talent than a well executed AMV does, in my opinion.

If you believe that AMV isn't art fine I respect that. But we live in such times where art doesn't require talent (Example: paintings that are made in kindergarten by 4 year olds). Like you said, art is subjective and you have your opinion about it and I have mine. I also believe that art is something that requires creativity, skill, and effort, and AMV doesn't fit in those categories, but saying that it's not art just because there's nothing artistic in it is childish. If any of us would describe so easily what's art and what's not, then art critics (I'm talking about real experts) wouldn't even exist in this world.
So as much I wouldn't like to say it, but AMV IS an art form.
