more evidence of spam as art



This morning, I received my first zen spam. There was no subject - but no "no subject", just perfectly blank. The sender was 'mail', and the mirrored recipient also 'mail'. The content of the email was a vast white space. At the very bottom, in the attachments, was a virus -I mean a 'document'- that was called: it_about_you.

I can't help but read this in terms of the history of absence, of shinto silence, of the pure reflection of the selfhood that is nothingness...

Yours,
Militarization R. Saucer &
Delinqently J. Obscenity

(My apologies for the absense of any real content, but I'll be back online when the university goes offline)
