Byte



Here's another great project from the archives of the Prix Ars Electronica. Created by Christopher Ebener and Uli Winters, Byte puts an absurd spin on the idea of a network attack:

"The purpose of our project is to breed a specialized mouse population for attacking computer networks, which would be able to paralyze these in the briefest amount of time by destroying the cables. . .Little imagination is required to see how easy it would be to have these kinds of animals infiltrate the sensitive centers of information power and the devastating results this infiltration could have. According to the same principle, it would be equally simple to transform other creatures, for instance ants causing short circuits in computers, into dangerous weapons in the information war."
