That depends in this case on how you define photography, is it an art or a craft, in photography you are taking something that's already there and recording it.  The photographer applies his skills in camera and in processing to make it better in some way. If he's (English makes this the non gender soporific pronoun live with it), good at it has a good eye and decent skills, the recording can be raised to the level of art.  A machine can follow the same rules, so it could be machine art, but a machine will never break the rules.

But is it really "machine art"? Or is it "Art" made by people using machines?

Ultimately the tool you choose doesn't matter as much as your skill using those tools and how well you you are able to show others what you've "seen" with your mind's eye.

If you can communicate your vision, then it's the appropriate tool.

There's really only so much you can do with code, before you're no longer recording a scene, and are actually generating it, which is art not photography. Personally I prefer my art to be produced by humans not by machines mainly because machine art is kinda dull.
