can art be infrastructure and can infrastructure be art?

the techies are building network states, globe spanning, decentralized networks of technologists. could artists lay claim to something like this? the internet was always meant to be networked, but who can lay claim to networked infrastructures and their associated effects?

our lives are thoroughly _digitized_ which leaves me wondering, when the network is the territory and the primary domain upon which cultural production is already occurring, what new infrastructures are possible and what collective practices do they enable? nunet.nyc is just such a response.
