All pieces were created as a glitch experiment. The search for the rugged using Adobe ActionScript 2.0 to create a visual-non-controlled reaction from the script using just 3 dots as a graphic component. u —---. Present a missing file that changes visually depending on the browser used to navigate the piece. This simple error illustrated a poem inside his source code: 

I I humbly breakfast immateriality I cover myself before going out with the cloak of her metaphor I make her physical, while she in my hands silently slips

It's my hateful lover That made Klein jump into the void just to feel her Hear the din of our disappointment! About Klein there is nothing left He came undone as he plunged into her

Outside in the streets when no one sees her, my crazy beloved gives me life what makes that for me, her love is my luck but she also, immaterially, kills me when I braid the hair of her complex nothingness

Beautiful and malicious, the immaterial at night, escapes from my words and makes the verb our clandestine lover Sitting at the window, I see her at dawn satisfied.

of the computer metaphor of his holy image I only see its infinite representation she puts a mirror in front of my eyes me with her there I multiply.

Totally not a Virus. Trus me, I’m a Dolphin Computer viruses have posed questions about the nature of life. Though the question of what one can consider alive is just as much a topic of philosophy as biology, the fact that viruses possess many of the same functional aspects as biological entities suggests that they could be useful to fields of research that involve artificial life.

A Net.Art piece as an ode for a worm and a virus that caused more than $10 Billions in damages, exposed in this piece as a commemorative moment of 1995 to 2005’s computer security invasion. Both codes created by “accident” reveal a pattern of organic intelligence that opened the discussion of the possibility of an artificial life inside our computers. “What is life?”. “Are Viruses alive?” is a difficult question in any scope, but if it’s so, Trust me, I’m a Dolphin is The Genesis of malwares intelligence.

The original piece included the source code of both malwares, but current firewalls quickly detect and block this content giving us the impression that we are “vaccinated” from those elder life forms. However, we can still appreciate an extract of the Virtual Basic Script (.vbs) found in an IBM Aptiva 2137-E14 that the artist owned since 1998, a reminder of the most beautiful lines of code, ILOVEYOU.
