From the Brothers McLeod:
"The dialogue for Spamland comes from the semi-sensical text found in the filter-busting portion of spam messages. So what to do with those pesky spam emails - we've dramatised them!"

What if that random spam prose were visualized? You'd get something like this...

Friends of mine in NYC made a bunch of these and threw them at some bland public art a couple years ago. Great subversive 'graffiti' medium (doesn't permanently deface or otherwise damage), but I'm not so sure about that environmental impact (batteries).

Again with the kittens! OK, I know, I know. But notice the nearly 2 million views - I'm not the only one. And while I normally dislike cheesy music additions, I happen to love this tune, "Music for a Found Harmonium" by the Penguin Café Orchestra (though I like a version done by Patrick Street a bit better).

An excerpt from a video art piece called "Some Days" that I finished in April 2005 and which inspired a multi-screen video installation version called "Borne" - that is me jumping around and 'flying' to my own improvised vocals.
