Spamart

A decentralized global art movement founded by cryptoartists in 2022.

Spamart traces back as early as 1933 to include historic artworks & art activities that embodied the Spamart ethos & used spamming methods to distribute & display work to the public.

Notable historic Spamart includes SPAM (Sociedade Pró-Arte Moderna) a social club in Brazil for artists unable to travel to Europe; paintings of canned SPAM by Ed Ruscha & Andy Warhol and Net Art of the '90s using email & the internet for websites as art.

Spamart was made public in 2022 when some blockchain-native artists, 'The Spamart Party', began using Ai to mass produce & distribute unsolicited cryptoart focused on the phenomenom of spam. Anyone may join simply by creating a work of Spamart. The Spamart Party regularly hosts open calls for exhibitions online & at NFT conferences.

The Party has resisted hosting an official website but they will likely soon, in interest of providing an accessible archive for their many actions & initiatives.

Core Founders include: Jay Delay, The Perfesser, Bittty Gordon, Ernesto Asche, B, Gino Battiston, Santiago Itzcoatl,

ooakosimo, Ruth Allen, Cryptochild, Bard Ionson, WizardX, Ferris Bullish, Webgurl, Allbi, FtrSaroth, Xelda Jara, Marcotic, Punk Cipher, Cryptowarrior, Bitjamin and Bloc ChVng, all of whom may be found on X (Twitter).
I saw some great works of Spamart in the Centre Pompidou's digital collection!
