Welcome Kiki. What?? From Osaka, Japan to Serbia? That's an amazing adventure.  I will include a comment about it on the next blog post. Any photos to document this adventure?

Hello!

I travelled to Serbia, Europe, for two weeks in April 2023 and I met a fellow mail artist, Predrag, who is also on IUOMA, in person. We made collage cards and drawings together. Such a fabulous time!! I hope to visit Serbia again :-)

If any of you visits Osaka City, Japan, hopefully on the weekends, I would be happy to meet you in person :-)

Welcome Janys. We are 9 members strong. 

If anyone has any fun mail art stories they would want to share on the blog, let me know. Did you attend a mail art meet-up? Did you ever travel hundreds of miles to meet a mail art friend? This is all volunteer and not for pay since I do not make money from the blog and am not planning to. No google ads. 

I want to promote mail art and mail artists. Feedback has been good so far from readers.

Welcome Joey Patrickt. I follow him on Instagram and I have enjoyed seeing his collages.

thank you for the kind welcome.

yes...and one could see by whom one is influenced - the mood one was into when he/she created the envelope..personal interests....etc  

today it is already possible to see through evaluation of ones internet-behaviour if the person is pregnant or in which state of menstrual cycle she is. I read in an article that pregnant people would be the most interesting target group for personalised advertisements at the moment.

And welcome to the group Rebekka. 

Now that you mention it, I wonder if the AI programs of the future will be able to find useful information from mail art posted on IUOMA. They could see geographic location based on the addresses which is probably pretty easy for them, since the USPS already photographs every envelope it processes using high speed scanners.

They could maybe figure out if a person is making unapproved political statements. Watch your use of rubber stamps with words on them starting in 2025! :-) They could be figuring out a person's general interests based on the imagery of collages or drawings. 

Well yes an AI program to generate useful data about a person based on what kind of abstract art they make could be big business.

as we make a lot of our mail art visible online...  :)

In any case, thank you for addressing such interesting topics

Thank you for reading Rebekka. Yes the nooscope is still relatively new? So my own creations on the topic were basic, but if discussion continues on the internet and it becomes more real to people, then i can see other creators making more detailed statements on it. 

I don't know how well they will be able to scope our mail art exchanges.

Hi Thomas, your article about the nooscope was very interesting. I also followed the link nooscope.ai - there were a lot things I already knew but interesting to read in other words.

In any case, a topic that is well suited for art actions.

I'm curious to see if anyone here will take up the challenge, as I'm not that politically creative myself. :)
