============================================
The Do It With Others (DIWO) E-Mail-Art exhibition aims to highlight the
already thriving imaginations of those who use social networks and
digital networks on the Internet as a form of distribution. Just like
Mail Art, E-Mail-Art bridges the divide between artists and non artists
to share a freely accessible form of distribution.
The Mail Art projects of the 60s, 70s and 80s demonstrated Fluxus
artists' common disregard for the distinctions of 'high' and 'low' art
and a disdain for what they saw as the elitist gate-keeping of the
'high' art world. They often took the form of themed, 'open calls', in
which all submissions were exhibited and catalogued. Mail Art has always
been a useful way to bypass curatorial restrictions for those who wish
to create active and imaginative exchange on their own terms; this form
of activity usually flourishes outside of the gallery system.
This E-Mail-Art exhibition, intends to follow the spirit of past Mail
Art endeavours by asking those submitting their works to open themselves
to a shared dialogue as part of the process and medium on the
NetBehaviour mail list, as a playful platform for experimentation
together at the same time.
The theme of this E-Mail-Art project is Do It With Others (DIWO).
This project suggests that we extend the DIY ethos of some early net art
and tactical media, towards a more collaborative, DIWO approach. Peers
connect, communicate and collaborate, creating controversies, structures
and culture using both digital networks and shared physical environments.
