Regina Lynn: From Spam to Porn to Art
Regina Lynn's latest column on Wired is a well-written, reflective piece: From Spam to Porn to Art.
Adam spent about a year developing a script that pulls text strings from the subject lines of spam e-mails and maps them to the colors in a pornographic image. It then layers thousands upon thousands of the newly colorful text strings to create a stylized version of the original image.
It's like those advertisements that create a picture out of a million small pictures, except that you can't tell it's text unless you take the final image apart.
