Publisher / European distributor, Book Works, London; distributed in U.S. by r.a.m. and in rest of world by Actar D



Fair Use (notes from spam) was published by Book Works, London, in 2009. It was a project that took spam e-mails
as the starting point for an exploration of language games, con tricks and historical network hacking, presented as
an associative archive within five short books, each from a different time and place on earth. The five books were
collected in no particular order within a slipcase and conceived as the first modular installments of a longer project.

UK version launched at A Foundation, London; CCA, Glasgow, Cornerhouse, Manchester. May 2009
