The truth, didn’t that many had came up with this idea about Spam as poetry. Even though it truly is brilliant! My first hit on the world wide web was “Andrei Codrescu”. Read a biography. I just had to google “spam is poetry” to see what could possibly show. There is a 3 min audio clip with him where he tells something (yada yada yada) about Spam and Poetry. Listen to it!
“Commentator Andrei Codrescu sees a way for the much-hated computer nuisance “spam” — unsolicited emails — to redeem itself.”
There is another link about this specific audio clip. Right here! Codrescu is really on to something. Hopefully I wont spoil the whole idea about this blog, my intentions with it or for arts sake my goal just because I write about him in my first post on my first day, on the Internet? Nah? There is a short text written by Codrescu with the following quote:
“And the strange thing is that it works. Everything from porn to nonexistent W.M.D.’s can be sold to us because we are perfect receptors for Dada poetry, made pliable by a relentless history of nonsense and nonstop pitching.”
You find the whole text right here! The text was published in 2004, that’s like ages ago. I’m way behind… Of course there are more written about Codrescu, you can read some over at “Marketing VOX“.
