Thought fot the day

Mail art involves the creation and use of new systems of communication characterized by their free access, openess, inclusivity and interaction, in a perspective where the communication flux is more important of the aesthetical content of the works in transit in this flux. Mail art foresees the cancellation of the distance between artist and audience, encouraging the collective participation and favouring the communicative aspect.
