The art of tricking humans and machines

Work done in collaboration with Silvia Brodi.

What is spam, what does it tell us about our culture and where lies the art in composing spam? How did spam transform in the last couple of years? What are the esthetics of spam and how are they influenced by the change of technology?

A set of over 400 spam emails was collected and studied. 4 of them were printed on HQ paper and exhibited at the Greenpoint Gallery NYC in Feb 2015.
