¡Hola Brian!
Josephine Bosma called my attention for this message, thanks Jo! :-))
yes, thanks, Jo!
You are right indeed, i am from Uruguay (my name is Brian Mackern, and my field of work and art practice comes more from the netart scene, did a research about netartists from latinoamerica at the change of this century http://netart.org.uy/latino , a book about this site was published in 2010 by MEIAC museum).
Nice resource! I always admire fellow archivists who document the ephemeral! ;-) It is things like this that ensure a bit more balanced histories are preserved (more balanced than the typical academic line)... Of course, some vital threads of netart had their genesis in the mailart impulse, to be sure: Networkers all!
As uruguayan i may suggest that Clemente Padin is for sure the referent you need for the reconstruction of the latinamerican mail art scene.
Right, yes, I've known Clemente for a couple decades on the network (longer even??). Sometimes it's hard to reconstruct 'first meetings' within the "Eternal Network"!
Cheers, & thanks again!
