Spamgraffiti is a series of online installations created from spam.
Each environment is created by spooling through one email account and visually articulating the spam on a series of layers. Newer spam appears above and slowly filters out older spam below. As the rate of spam increases over time per account, the page itself appears less and less like the previous generation.
Each screen showcases the 25 most recent spam in the account.
