114) 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.

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......

What will happen in the coming few years?

113) Current Mail-Art Network

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.

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?

 

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