Pams is another anagram for Spam.
Pams is a series of multilayered screen shot images of junk mail that I received in my email-saturated box. This multi-layering reflects the amount of spam receive, their accumulation in my mailbox. They also reflect certain worries of our current society such as erection disorders, the sizes of men’s sexual organ, the desire of sexual fulfillment of women.
By playing on desire, these unwanted e-mails always try to sell something.
These composites have been uploaded to cell phones. People are obsessed with cell phones. Cells are our tech-extended personality that connects us to the outside world that continually interferes with our life, our personal space, and transitional invading devices exposing us to the world.
“The cell is like a contaminating hole opening into our life,” says Tony Oursler. They seemed to have taken over all aspects of life.
They have become life placebos, and “fetish machines.”
According to Oursler, the phone is everything and he considers it to be a new sexual organ through retinal sex. Is it a surrogate for sex, as sex is no longer connected to a clinical act?
