SPAMpoetry is a series of works experimenting with visual aspects of poetry and digital manipulation of email messages. Poetry is created by means of algorithmic patterns from compiled spam messages and is printed by using a modified knitting machine to create seemingly useful clothes. The authors explore the combination of traditional hand work and digital culture as well as the speed of digital messages and the time consuming process of knitting. Spam messages are generated automatically and the same technique is used by the two authors: the automated generation based on algorithms for spam recycling and transformation of these messages into urban poetry. Spams were "harvested” locally, in Eindhoven and Malmo, where the project was initiated. Most recently it was exhibited in Mitte Barcelona (2014). With their work Mar and Varvara test technology and use it to explore new concepts in art and digital production.
