Spamology is an audiovisual representation of word frequencies in spam e-mail messages.
the visualization is based on analysis of a private archive of spam messages which were collected during 10 years (1998-2007),
containing up to 2,000,000 emails originated from various parts of the world.

Spamology is a part of ongoing research examining the nature of Spam as a digital-cultural phenomenon. The project aims at visualizing
the links and interrelationships between the contents of spam, the user/individual and the society, by revealing patterns in spam
which may reflect cultural and social trends, behaviors and variations.
