Viruses As Art Bring Back Bad Memories For Make Google, Microsoft

This really is strange. Artist Alex Dragulescu has used neutralised forms of unpopular viruses such as PWS-Lineage, Stormy, Mytob, IRCBot, Netsky (which will become SkyNet in the future, until the John_Connor patch is released), and MyDoom, which took out Google for several hours back in 2004.

Security firm MessageLabs commissioned the works:

API calls, memory addresses and subroutines are tracked and analyzed. Their frequency, density and grouping are mapped to the inputs of an algorithm that grows a virtual 3D entity.

I don’t know about you, but for me, these images are just creepy, will the next generation of viruses come across in the form of images?
