Infected Images

This digital image series titled, “Infected Art” is by Alex Dragulescu.  These images are basically a digital representation of computer viruses, worms, spam email, blogs and video games.  Dragulescu created a computer program that looks for codes and uses algorithms to digitally “grow” 3D images.  This means he doesn’t physically draw or design the images.  The computer simply analyzes data codes and maps out the patterns.

Dragulescu is a visual artist who uses tradition and new media.  His work has been featured all around Europe and now North America.

I think it is interesting how Dragulescu says his art is “a surprise every time!” Also, these images remind me of a project I did a while back in high school with fractals.  It required me to create mathematical equation, then the computer transforms it into a geometric pattern.
