Vortec space

Vortec space, originally known as Blue Special Effect, is a wallpaper included in Windows XP, licensed from Corbis. It was created by Digital Art, the pseudonym of graphic designer Tim Alt. Like Bliss, it also came from Westlight, a small stock photo agency bought by Corbis in 1998. It depicts a blue vortex. It is spelt as "Vortec", which is most likely a typo as c is next to x on keyboards. There are several images similar to and related to Vortec space on Getty Images, which were also created by Alt, an example being one that is more purple-ish and has stars in the background.
