a poem published as spam message

图片
“It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.” -Oscar Wilde

One could received many spam messages everyday in China. I paid for a underground AD company
 to send my poem (the ultimate form of “useless”) to 50k beijingers` mobiles randomly.15 people had
 replied me, some wrote poems as response, some cursed on me, some asked persistently what kind
 of product I want to promote…
I aksed them to make a video by mobile when they read the poem.Few of them sent to me and I overlay
 them one to another make them remain anonymous.
