And unless I'm missing something, this has little to do with actual 'Viral Behavior'— it seems more evocative of defecation and defacement. See the benson stuff here: http://www.designboom.com/snapshots/satellite04/john.html I believe Benson's work was chosen as one of Wallpaper*'s top ten worst misses of 2006.

You guys are killing me with this kind of work. Is one thing to have someone like Maarten Baas use a design icon to produce an amazing product such the Smoke series but this is uberly ridiculous! How sad it is to see this furniture been used for such a bad idea. Plus the "virus" technique is complete bull! This designer would have saved his day if at least he would have used software to generate this crap! This is the end of design. You guys are killing me with this kind of work.
