I know that for Archiving, the art on paper has a better chance to survive the times. But with all the new generations using digital information without a printed backup you can also imagine these new generation will build tools to access all that digital information too, and the term "Big Data" might also become accesible for the artists and viewers as well. What do you think? Which Direction are we going?<br />

<br />
Being on Internet a lot of time, also means you have less time for other things. To test this, I made even a 'boring' group on facebook (see:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/borrrring/" target="_blank"> https://www.facebook.com/groups/borrrring/</a>) where I notice a lot of people actually come, read and post, wiothout the group having a real theme except that it is titled Boring Group.<br />
What will the role of Internet be in a decade. Will it have taken over even more communicationforms?Ruud Janssenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10405851031473598283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668185462378784957.post-42612854014913499762015-05-31T11:48:00.000-07:002015-06-12T23:57:48.623-07:00114) Mail-Art gets in the museums.Last year the MoMa in New York even did a few exhibitions on the subject of Mail-Art. A special on Edgardo Antonio-Vigo, and a special on the theme "Analog Networks' in which even some works form me (they have a part in their collection) were shown.<br />
<br />
Is mail-art gradually dying. Is Internet taking over. Is the traditional mail-art becoming too expensive. Also the old generation slowly is entering the Internet world and start to document their mailings from the past like souvenirs from a time gone by......<br />
<br />
What will happen in the coming few years?

Getting mail-art in the postbox for me still is what mail-art is about, but the new generation is doing online projects, documentation on blogs, digital catalogs, and very little analogue things these days are produced.<br />
<br />
That is why I started to write 3D letters with the newest digital tool, a 3D pen. And the envelopes will be sent out as well into the normal mail-art network. And where will they end?<br />

Probably they will end up in closed collections and a digital images somewhere on one of the networks and social media. </div>

As it looks now, a lot of mail-artists are sucked into this digital world, and they realize there is just too much digital information to absorb. So they come to a point where they have to decide how to filter that information. Turn away from the digital sources, or just select only what interests you the most.....<br />
<br />
As it turns out Google and Facebook are doing the same. They investigate your behavious and show you only what you indicated you liked. It is like a trap. You don't see all anymore, you just see a coloured version.</div>

In the óld' days the mail-art projects resulted in printed documentation. In these modern years the documentation more and more turns out to be a blog, website, digital .PDF documentation. Is this o.k. for you and do you like the digitalisation of the documentation?<br />
<br />
What are the positive sides of digital documentation. Are there also any negative sides?</div>

I have noticed that a lot of mail-artists moved to facebook on a radical way. They post their mailings there, they post what they receive there. They even publish their artworks on all kind of groups even without sending anything out. Is that still mail-art? Do you have to send a physical piece of mail to be called a mail-artists or is sending of digital stuff enough.<br />
<br />
In my opinion you need to send out hardcopy stuff to be called a mail-artist. do you agree or not?<br />

The free websites, like blogs, are more and more taken over with advertisings. That is why I had to remove some links from this blog. Mail-Art is a topic to discuss. Will see if the interest comes back with interesting themes and also with getting rid of the stupid advertisings. Thanks for the comment that pointed me to this.</div>

Today news from John Held Jr arrived though the social media to inform us that Shozo Shimamoto died 3 days ago on January 25th, just 3 days after he became 85 years old. How will Shozo be remembered?</div>

There are a lot of visitors on this blog, but somehow the reactions come in only rare. Not sure what the reason is. Are blogs not the best places for discussions. Has Facebook taken over. Is the IUOMA network the place for discussions? Or are mail-artists just too self-centered as master of their own network so that they don't need/want to discuss their views of mail-art?</div>
