Spam-Art

Leo en CNET la historia de Alex Dragulescu, un informático rumano que ha convertido el spam en arte:

For the last several years, the Romanian-born computer artist has applied techniques in computational modeling and information visualization to invent a new form of artistic expression. One of his more notable projects involved creating what he calls Spam Plants. He wrote algorithms that analyzed various text and data points of junk e-mail to produce "organic" images of plantlike structures that spontaneously grew based on incoming spam.


La noticia viene acompañada de una galería con algunos ejemplos ilustrativos del resultado obtenido por Dragulescu. ¿Quién iba a pensar que el Nigerian Scam pudiera convertirse en algo tan bonito?
