About the artist

Greg Linares

Artist

Greg Linares is a digital artist who uses custom AI systems to translate code into visual art. His process runs malware in controlled sandbox environments, converting code segments into language-based AI prompts that generate striking imagery.

Inspired by the Industroyer malware used by Russia to target Ukraine’s power grid, Cyberwar explores the impact of cyberattacks in modern conflict. The artist’s custom AI system ran the malware in sandboxes, translating code segments into AI prompts processed through image-generating algorithms, combined with textures such as the map of Ukraine.
