On Spam, Lectori Salutem

Hand sawn, lacquered poplar plywood and electronics, 2013.

Site-adjustable installation that I developed for projectspace Het Plafond (The Ceiling) in Rotterdam that is being run by art historian Guus Vreeburg and visual artist Willem Besselink. For Het Plafond Vreeburg & Besselink ask artists to develop a work specifically for the ceiling. The space can be seen, not entered, from the street 24 hours a day.

Lectori Salutem centers around the hail to the reader, the ‘Dear Recipient’ of email spam. It is a selection of salutations found in my spamfilter, all starting with the word ‘Dear’, hanging from the ceiling and rotating around their axis.
