BIT BABBLE (photos from the show) was a great success for all the Art and Tech students and instructors here at The Ohio State University Department of Art. Ken Rinaldo and Amy Youngs did a great job putting it all together. We had a great crowd and many interesting projects on exhibit. My new installation "Spamtrap" was well received by our audience. Here are some cell phone pictures of my installation at BIT BABBLE and the pile of paper it made by the end of the first night.
I was also fortunate to be blogged by several web sites recently:
Thanks Everyone!

Tear it apart.
"Spamtrap" is an interactive installation piece that prints, shreds and blacklists spam email. It interacts with spammers by monitoring several email addresses I created specifically to lure in spam and an old unused personal email address I use to lure in spam. I do not use these email addresses for any other communication. I post these individual email addresses on websites and online bulletin boards that cause them to be harvested by spambots and then to start receiving spam.
Because I know that all email sent to these email addresses are spam, I have set the installation to print and then shred each email as it arrives. Simultaneously the installation is feeding spam blacklists on the web with information gathered from all the received spam. This in turn helps to feed spam filtering systems across the web that are working to reduce the amount of spam we all receive. Click here for more information about Spamtraps.
The installation uses a Pentium II computer connected to a wireless network, personal printer, personal shredder, aluminum rails, Spamtrap email addresses, automatic printing software, email client software, antivirus software, and a SpamCop user account. The paper is recycled after the spam email has been shredded.
