Turn your comment spam into art
If you can't beat them, join them says the old wisdom...well, not really. Sebastian Schmieg, a 23 year old student of design from Germany, devised a skilful plan to make something beautiful from something dirty. That is, make artwork from blog comment spamlinks.

He calls the project SpamPaint, and says:

"After receiving the comment SpamPaint will analyse it. For example: comment spam nearly almost includes links to websites (after all, the intention of comment spam is to promote websites) so SpamPaint visits these sites and grabs the colors and some images. SpamPaint also checks from which country the spammer is and shows this in the generated graphics. That's just two of many steps."

What else to say than kudos to you Sebastian!
