Is animation "art" or "science"?

It doesn't have any of that mystical
possibly romantic or modernist/impressionist sense of art anymore
it ruins the effect
if we had mona lisa...and da vinci drew a first logo on it...it would just ruin the art no?

or a detailed scene of pastoral nature, and then we put a solar panel or powerplant in the middle...ruins it.

Depends how you use it. Use animation to model something scientifically or to display something graphically. Call it what you want.
