    • Very cool idea to make art out of spam emails. I recieved a book as a gift once called "Cry for Help: 36 Scam Emails from Africa", where an illustrator made an illustration for 36 scam emails he had recieved.

      Malwarez is a series of visualization of worms, viruses, trojans and spyware code. For each piece of disassembled code, 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. Therefore the patterns and rhythms found in the data drive the configuration of the artificial organism.
