Today's Webtip: Spam Art

Christina De Middel turns scam mails into photographs.

Playing with spam is one way to try to deal with the flood of potentially abusive scam mails that make up a good portion of the worlds email transactions. One way that has been achieved in the past was to try to turn things around and try to scam the spammers, making them think they had a gullible fish on the line while making them do all sorts of silly things on the hope of grabbing some cash.

Although the results are amusing, and frequently provide the net with some rather silly photos, they have usually been somewhat less than artistic.

Now a photographer has taken those same mails, and the stories that they contain, and turned them into inspiration for something a little more anspruchsvoll.

The results are worth looking at.
