Data Art

Great article about Alex Dragulescu’s Spam Flowers on CNET News.com.

From CNET News.com:

“For the last several years, the Romanian-born computer artist has applied techniques in computational modeling and information visualization to invent a new form of artistic expression. One of his more notable projects involved creating what he calls Spam Plants. He wrote algorithms that analyzed various text and data points of junk e-mail to produce “organic” images of plantlike structures that spontaneously grew based on incoming spam.”
