Atlas of Cyberspaces

" We've mentioned similiar pages in the past, but this one interests me because it does technical visualizations (like xtraceroute and similiar apps) as well as artistic ones (where it shows things like Tron and The Matrix).

    I discover this site a while back; Someone posted it to a thread on 'mapping the internet'. While most of the images are startlingly beautiful, the other thing that struck me about the attempts to 'map' also looked organic. One would normally assume that a network would look, well, mechanical, but I saw no real mechanism behind them. Take the map of the Mbone: It could be mistaken for a 2-d rendering of, say, bacterial growth vectors. Mabye saying 'the internet has a life of its own' has a wee bit more validity than anyone thought...
