Spamghetto: Junk Mail Wallpaper Covering

[http://www.todo.to.it/#projects/spamghetto]

Spamghetto [todo.to.it] is a spam-based wall covering shown at the Design Crisis exhibition in Torino, Italy, based on up to 2000 different junk-mail subjects scraped from Gmail mailboxes. With the crisis happening, the aim of the project is to recycle in order to turn the ugly spam into a beautiful wallpaper, before it is too late: "someday a brilliant scientist will find the definitive solution to eradicate from the web the bittersweet pleasure of spam. Spamghetto is not like your grandma's wallpaper."

The wallpaper is generated using a generative software, so that the design can adapt to the specific dimensions of the space.

So far, we had wallpapers made out of New York Times Headlines, French phrases, and Nasdaq stock quotes.
