On Spam, Making a Point

Hand sawn and painted mdf, 2012.

On three consecutive days in december 2011 I received 5.000 messages in my spamfilter that claimed to ‘ve said that least’ X amount of times. X being a number between 1.000.000 and 10.000.000.

An IT expert told me the messages might be a way for spammers to test which computers in a botnet are still under the spammer’s control. I decided to select five numbers (1074228, 2113205, 3322205, 4527317 and 5819268).

The letter font is Arial, one of the ten Core fonts for the Web.
