John  - Crazy shit |2009-02-25 06:15:51 these numbers baffle my brain, but i like it. Reply

D. S. Littleton  - Intriguing... |2009-02-25 06:27:45 Gotta say, I didn't quite get it upfront... but the more I looked into it, the more sense it made; very timely comment on the world, indeed... Great work, guys! Reply

Helen Ferry  - It's really good! |2009-02-26 00:25:28 I like the interactivity of the piece and the opportunity viewers have to create their own random artwork I like art that's has an element of chance in the making - but this takes it one step further and engages the audience in this as well. It's literally letting the audience create their own version...the math behind all this is mind boggling but you don't even have to understand this to enjoy and get the message.. spam is a good play on net data so the images themselves are great as well...and the digital originals idea is good too... I'll have to spend a bit more time reading all the info on the site... Reply

Adam Laura  - Simplicity |2009-03-10 06:45:41 I love it when someone shows how common sense and simplicity can become revolutionary! Nice work Colin, my old friend. Reply

Max Goonan  - LOVE it |2009-03-10 08:29:57 Took me a while to first get it - then I just loved it!! It really intrigues me... and I got to thinking that just as I do not understand the math of spam, so too - do I not fully understand the power of imagination. This has given me a jolt.. Thanks...

Andrew Gancewicz  - Good idea |2009-03-10 21:58:38 The concept is very interesting, but I think your explanation could be more precise,ie there are an infinite number of copies but there will only ever be the one original, and the collectable is the original, thats where the value is.This is the element to be focused upon so that people understand what is the concept, and this element needs the explanation....or am I being too picky.

Nix  - Hmmm |2009-03-12 00:42:21 Interesting concept. I don't agree that every time you refresh it's a "whole new artwork", because the variations are fairly minor in terms of the viewer's experience. Even though, technically, different viewers are seeing different things, in most cases their subjective experience of the artwork will be much the same. Contrast this to a really intricate painting where, objectively, different viewers see the same thing, but subjectively pick up on different elements and have a different experience. This is one of those pieces where the power lies in the concept behind it, rather than the artwork per se. And it is a powerful concept which I think it could be the platform for a truly fascinating style of digital art. I can't wait to see where you go with this. Reply
