spam as codework [+/or] spam as ASCII.art ??
i was amazed to find the msg pictured above in my inbox. it is so indecipherable as spam or art, i.e. is it spam as codework [+/or] spam as ASCII.art [+/or] simply spam as spam attempting to convince me to click links contained + purchase pills?
the ASCII.art as names + prices of drugs is what i am particularly responding to, as i haven't seen this approach before in spam as spam whereas in terms of codeworks or ASCII.art this is a recognizable approach to retro new media artmaking + theorypraxis.
below is the msg as [plain txt/str8 ASCII]...
