it seems that the long time wish of decentralization has finally come true--anyone can be an artist, just do it. unfortunately, the decentralization has sponsors.

I know that I always express strong opinions about this.
I have nothing against housewifes, I am one myself.
But what I see the past years is that it seems that some are bored of making
cards with teabags and all other kind of things you can buy in hobby shops
and which you can learn to do from booklets you can buy there. I do not know
what it is called in English those hobby things.
I saw many websites which say that it is Mail-Art, but all look the same.
Buy some rubberstamps in a shop, put it on a postcard and voila it is
Mail-Art. Cut some pictures out of a glossy magazine put it on a postcard
and voila that is Mail-Art.
What is Mail-Art? Mail-Art is communication. And a good communication start
when there is difference. Only the past years I do not discover lots of
difference anymore in Mail-Art. Where are opinions?
I believe that when today somebody start with an action as a Decentralised
Networker Congress it would not work at all. Because that is where many
newcommeres are not interested at all. No, cutting out pictures out of
glossy magazine and glueing on a postcard and sending out is the only thing
they love to do. All the rest is just to difficult. I am sure that one day
Mail-Art as it was in the 70's till the 90's will dissapear and that one day
it will be only sending out postcards only.
Am I wrong?
