Thomson & Craighead, Strictly personal and confidential, in More Songs of Innocence and of Experience, 2012.
More Songs of Innocence and of Experience are a series of karaoke videos that take a fresh look at unsolicited spam emails and their affinities with the romanticism and realism in Charles Dickens’ novel, Our Mutual Friend. In both Dickens’ novel and our online culture the language of romanticism and realism becomes intertwined with languages of exploitation whether it be the scam email, the hard luck story that attempts to extort or more generally the realms of advertising, evangelical religion, politics etc.
