I think this is a stretch, many engineering feats are also been considered works of art. Bridges, homes, office buildings, etc. There is no reason not to consider software code, or the software itself, to be works of art.
Indeed, we have seen many instances of software that are well regarded as being works of art. Is the source code for that software somehow not art?
