DESCRIPTION

It seems that nobody cares about Spam Mail as artistic matter. Spam is noise. Unwanted words and invitations. I have decided to take it seriously. Happy about the sums i´ll soon receive. Forwarding personal details to all who ask. I don´t have a credit card. I´m happy to see these gorgeous girls thinking we have a future together. I write each and every one of them back; sorry - i´m flattered, yet married. Like if I should need viagra. Sexist. A weird reminder of the world out there. Cut through word cells like they were snails. Heidegger and Habermas. Once i noticed that of some reason some Spam Mail contained already performed cutups, i was on the case/chase (mail art taken to the extreme).

Will cutting it up make it right again? - question posed repeatedly in the origamism, most prominent in the hands of Brion, Kurtchen and McPoet, see or_/grammatika, become or_/poetika. Come to free thee words. Come to thee free words. Computer-generated text in handwriting.

The people who actually transfer the 20 euro fee into an unknown account in order to receive their 44 million euro lottery prize are the breadcrumbs of this novel, cast-off & nurturing.

Spam emails produce as much greenhouse gas emissions each year as 3.1 million cars, according to new research.A study for a computer protection company showed that globally, spam uses 33 billion kilowatt hours (KWh) a year - enough energy to power 2.4 million homes.
