Bitalizer

The picture above may look like a space nebula but actually it’s a visualization by a program called Bitalizer which was authored by Brian Reavis. Using some incredible coding genius, Bitalizer creates visualization of all the millions of little 1′s and 0′s that make up a program, image or any computer file, with every line, kink, node and colour representing a different characteristic within the code such as a 1 bending the line down and a 0 bending the line down. As a nice little bonus, the website lets you upload files to be interpreted and visualized and you can rummage through others’ visualizations.

There is a video of Bitalizer at work after the break.
