Hi everyone - just thought that I'd repost the guidelines again, just in case :-)
A warm welcome to all those who have recently subscribed to the list. For those people who are new to the DIWO Mail Art experience here are some guidelines for engagement. Please feel free to ignore them and do what you like : ) Eight principals from UNCIVILISATION the DARK MOUNTAIN manifesto can be found here http://www.dark-mountain.net/about-2/principles/ Have a read and respond with MAIL ART- that's art that you can send: - explore, discuss, resist, promote, illustrate, or intervene. BY EMAIL 1. Your missive/contribution/intervention could use any of the following formats: - - texts (arguments, poetry, instructions, conversations, calls to act) - images - sound - html - links to webpages, video, software, artworks, anything else you can think of There is a file size limit of 250k so that people without access to high bandwidth can still get involved. 2. It's completely up to you how you get involved. In the last DIWO project people got involved in a range of ways including: - - posting individual streams of consciousness in the form of images, texts, sounds, videos, web links - appropriating, remixing, collaging of other's materials/ideas and then reposting them to the list - processing these materials through other online platforms and social software and then reposting them to the list - provoking and joining debates and controversies - posting instructions, proposals for collective action - posting suggestions for collective Snail Mail Art - lurking, doing and saying nothing. 3. You may want to use DIWO in the Subject header - to flag it up as part of the project. BY SNAIL MAIL Check out http://www.mail-art.de/ if you are not familiar with Mail Art as a form. Please share any links you may have to other Mail Art websites 1. send things to the gallery: directly or in chain mail (set up a circle of people who agree to forward your mail). 2. send letters or larger objects 3. Use the medium of mail in your response eg stamps, rubber stamps, the surface, weight, or relationship with the mail-person. DONT BE SHY!
