| Computer Virus' as Art?
Quote: 
On Monday, April 7, the Varnish Fine Art gallery and bar in San Francisco will host an exhibit called Infected Art. The works represent what worms, virus and spam attacks such as Storm, MyDoom and Netsky look like when put through a "computational art" algorithm. Above, see "MyDoom," named for the W32.MyDoom@mm virus, which in 2004 became the fastest-spreading e-mail worm ever. We're not sure what a "computational art" algorithm is, but the images, look sufficiently icky to pass for malicious things like worms and virus.

Not sure what parameters why put in to the program to have the virus's come out looking like actual viral bacteria.. but still.. pretty funky.
