Hey Netizens.

 

So you thought you'd seen it all on the web.


Like the Cannibal Grannies, the Puffin On Speed or the Vegan in the Kebab Shop.

30 years after Gary Thuerck sent the first email spam in the world to sell some old-school computer crap, spam has come alive. 16 psycho-pig artists collected that shit for 2 years and turned it into video clips.

This is SPAM turned video art.

To replace a lot of the shit that's shown.

Tell the world how fabulous and f***ed up we are.

SPAM the musical

Is it art? Spam? Or both?

In 2008 email spam grew up and turned 30. Based on the texts of email-spam, 'SPAM the musical' is spam turned video art. Together with a group of nearly a dozen Australian artists Boris Eldagsen created a unique project that stretches genre limits and plays with the the viewer's mind.
