Spam Haus

“Rudimentary illimitable sewerage? malformation, backstop carolyn.
Clog document millionaire? last, last lucy”

No I haven’t been channelling TS Eliot again. (Last time I tried that, I kept seeing women coming and going, talking about Michaelangelo – all rather weird.)

Instead, this deathless verse is but a fragment from one of the occasional spam emails we get here at FAP Towers; their random words apparently side-stepping our Baysian filters (and no, I don’t know what they are, I just read it somewhere).

Anyway one enterprising chap has turned all this auto-generated gibberish into something rather amazing.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Spam Architecture of Alex Dragulescu:

From his Spam Architecture Website:

“The images from the Spam Architecture series are generated by a computer program that accepts as input, junk email. Various patterns, keywords and rhythms found in the text are translated into three-dimensional modeling gestures.”

So there you go. It seems that spam has its uses after all – it can be transformed into 3-D architectural gestures.

However to take this to its logical, if surreal, conclusion Mr Dragulescu should now build his aforementioned models … out of real Spam.

So to get him started, here’s one I made earlier. I call it ‘SpamHaus’:

• Windows From Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater For Sale (0)
• Dogs vs Grand Designs (1)
• Would You Pay More To Sleep In A Cardboard Box? (1)
• What’s That Coming Over The Hill? (0)
