I guess I consider the two synonymous in an artist. (Just this artist's viewpoint here, however.)

I'm glad to see that music has taken the evolutionary step that the visual arts made 30-40 years ago; Understanding that manipulating the relationships between viewer, artwork, and culture is a valid medium for the artist to work in and can add an additional level of complexity and to his artwork.

Scientists may have ethical questions about experimenting (memeticly) on human subjects, but for an artist it's part of the job description!
