Malwarez project grows virtual 3D organisms from vicious code

Filed under:

Ever had an urge to really get a visual on what masterfully written predatory code would look like if allowed to grow into a 3D organism? Okay, so maybe that hasn’t been on the forefront of your mind recently, but there’s no denying that Alex Dragulescu’s Malwarez project is quite the source of eye candy. According to its maker, the aforementioned initiative is a “series of visualization of worms, viruses, trojans and spyware code,” and their “frequency, density and grouping are mapped to the inputs of an algorithm that grows a virtual 3D entity.” Who knew viruses could look so dreamy?
