Comment by Ramailart (Gianni Ramacciotti) on February 15, 2023 at 6:01pm: Receiving a letter gives an emotion that we have lost familiarity with and is therefore more disruptive. Emotions have a revolutionary charge and I experience mail art as an "anti-status-quo" practice. On the other hand, stamps cost money and become a limit to people's involvement. In the first two projects I participated in, I did it by sending a letter: I love personalizing envelopes. The invitation to a project, however, I would send out 90% by e-mail, sending paper letters to the artists most to woo and from whom there is most to learn :)

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on February 15, 2023 at 4:07pm: Some of us who have been around the Mail Art world for a number of years think that Mail Art should go through the postal system rather than by email.

Dinosaurs rule, OK!
