“E-mail security company MessageLabs commissioned Dragulescu to visualize the threats the company finds in the 3 million messages it scans daily.

Dragulescu used algorithms to find recurring patterns in the source code of viruses and Trojans and then fed the results into a visualization algorithm.

The only manipulation involved was color-coding, setting the virtual position of the camera, and some lighting effects.

The project lives somewhere between pure art and information visualization, Dargulescu says.”
