Images: Turning spam into art
Image 1 of 8
The ASCII values found in the text of spam messages determine the attributes and qualities of Alex Dragulescu’s Spam Plants.
Here is another flowering example of a good use for spam.
Dragulescu’s Blogbot generates images based in part on text taken from blogs.
The first image or “experimental graphic novel” produced by Dragulescu’s Blogbot is called “What I Did Last Summer.”rn
rnIt was culled from the “My War” blog written by a U.S. soldier in Iraq and blogs from the “Baghdad Blogger.” Military and civilian units from the game “Civilization 3” were used in the image as well.
For Dragulescu’s Spam Architecture, patterns, keywords and rhythms found in the text of spam are translated into three-dimensional modeling architecture.
Here is another Dragulescu spam plant.
This is another “building” created via spam.
Here is more spam architecture.
