Respam, a work by Alex Dragulescu is a:

net.art platform for the collection, implementation, and cultural integration of unwanted, abject data in the form of solicitous messages (heretofore referred to as spam). In an age of unparalleled digital communication, spam accounts for up to 65% of all email. Research into this phenomenon is taking all over the world as spam threatens to turn the once utopian cyberlanscape into an abyss of junk emails, adverts, and attempts on the part of the spammers to harvest individuals’ data for malicious use.

The latest incarnation of Respam, entitled Inbox, uses the 50,000 spam message database within a VJ performance context where messages, images, and text are queried and retrieved live.
