What Jack said.
A quick look at Webster produces two definitions of the term "artifact":
A histogram is not created by humans, it is immaterial - a graphic display of numeric measurement results - therefore it cannot be an artifact.1.
a: Something created by humans usually for a practical purpose; especially: an object remaining from a particular period <caves containing prehistoric artifacts>
b: Something characteristic of or resulting from a particular human institution, period, trend, or individual
2. A product of artificial character (as in a scientific test) due usually to extraneous (as human) agency
Film, on the other hand, seems to satisfy all the above definitions...
Now, shall we leave the dead horse alone or should we keep looking up word definitions? Say "delusional"...
