Highways, antennas, containers, storehouses, pipes, submarine cables, sensors: the word infrastructure usually refers to "matter that enables the movement of other matter", the underlying organized structures and mediators that support human exchanges and the value people associate with them.

This essay is an introduction to artistic methodologies that map, tour, stage, dissect, tell, visualize, tear open, restitch and embody the composite networked structure that we sometimes call our Society, sometimes the Internet, and sometimes Planet Earth.
