'Love Letters From Craig' is an [interactive website](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-room-by-gentle-monster) that animates the Craigslist Casual Encounters.

Bought to us from Cartelle Interactive, the Amsterdam-based studio that delivered the Dilla Dimension project, Love Letters From Craig features a disembodied voice reading the filthy posts from the classified advertisements website. The audio is accompanied by trippy, equally-as-discombobulated visuals of swirling chapsticks, lollipops and women's breasts, unattached to a body. None of the Craiglist Casual Encounters featured in the project are modified or tampered with; they are only "enhanced" by the visuals and [background porno music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lover-set).

Filled with bizarre fetishes, strange desires and off-the-wall fantasies, the NSFW project is meant to be “a [romantic exploration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-by-notes) into the perversions of modern-day digital hookups.”
