Meet the ninjas

I walked into work yesterday and it didnt take me long to realize we got a computer virus. GREAT. Now I know most of the time they're meant to target big banks, corporations and capital institutions to upset the politcal adgenda bla bla bla, but 99% of the time they get US - the average joe. They leave our digital life crippled and inoperable, usually cost us time and money to get rid of, and are basically just the biggest pain in the ass the internet can throw our way. Now as I'm digging around on forums, trying to find out a way to get our little tattoo studio's cyber-ship up and running again, I got to thinking....what really are these litttle viruses? Sure they are coded programs made by some asshole to mess with our lives, but what are they really? As an artist, I want to know - what do they look like? You wanna know? Alex Dragulescu took the data from various computer viruses and turned them into visual models....say hello to the evil digital ninjas folks.
