It's a piece of technology, and it has function. It just hasn't an obvious use case. If someone publishes a programming language, usually they provide examples and a descripton on the purpose of the language, or in which way it improves over other existing languages. It doesnt make any sence to publish a technology which has no obvious use case without any explanation of its intended purpose.

Do you think being a piece of technology means that it can't also be art?

(They could stand to put some examples on the front page, that's fair.)

Technology always includes aspects of art; but form follows function.
