   Boy, the word ‘art’ sure is used loosely these days…

   What a horrible waste of paper.

   So you’d prefer it if everyone painted still life for all eternity, then?

   Shouldn’t that be “What If We Print Out All the Spam We Get?”

   or better “What if we printed out all the spam we got?”

   I thought artists were leftists who were for preservation of trees.

   All artists are leftists? pfft

   I think this is an interesting work, not my usual taste but I like the point that the artist raises.

   it’s an interesting concept and all that, but it’s really a waste of space. I just hope the artist used some kind of recycled paper :/

    Um … duh, yeah Akiro! I fixed the title and blamed Neatorama’s typsophilia for the error.

    Cuimhne: “The point that the artist raises”? If the point is that there’s a lot of spam, I got the point a looong time ago, and I’m reminded of it every time I switch on my computer; the same can probably be said of every other person on the planet who happens to have an email address. I love art, but this is completely worthless and wasteful.

    It is an incredible waste of our resources to point out something we already know.

    How many trees had to die to point out the obvious?

    This isn’t neat. It should be on “Stupidorama” (if there is such a site).

    Ah is the waste itself not the point? Everything can be interpreted in many different ways but my personal interpretation was that the wastage itself was the “point”. Everything we see online is digital information, this is simply transferring one type of information to another medium. Yes I think wasting paper is bad (and I’m a student animator so I’m one to talk) but I like this piece for some reason.
