Metropolis of Destructon
Back At It!
Apologies to all that have been waiting to see their contributions posted here at the M.o.D. Blog. After having done the move to the new local I had become completely absorbed with other artistic endeavours and had little to no time to post. In addition to time constraints my dinosaur of a PowerMac decided to give up the ghost, slowly. Making the process very difficult. But I'm back at it...Some cool things transpired in: M.o.D. Contributions have been steady and I have been producing responses, all will be sent out shortly (soon as I get them documented and posted). One notable contribution, from Robert Joy, has inspired me to produce M.o.D. coins and these will be sent out to all that have participated and to future contributors.
Money of Destructon
Robert Joy, Ellinwood KS
The notion of using beer caps as a currency is an interesting concept to consider. I like it on two basic principals; the first being that it reflects an honest social behavior that brings with it the co-mingling of cultures and the the exchange of information from a diverse group of people. The second being that the beer cap itself is a commodity of no other usefulness, therefor devoid of further corporate or government determination.
Obviously there is no way that it would work in practice, but fictionally speaking, it could be an interesting exercise. The opportunity for potential anarchy on a massive scale one one hand and empowerment on an intimate level presents plenty creative venues to explore.
What with the carte blanche license that central banks such as the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada (and the like) have to print money - then why not explore, in contrast, the idea of private citizens creating their own localized 'lender of last resort' and determinining a fiat currency to resolve monitery issues at a community level?

- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- My interest in mail art started by accident. I was working the streets of Toronto as a bicycle courier to finance courses at art college. During my down time between deliveries I'd occupy myself by drawing on scrapes of card stock. It was around the summer of '94 when a close friend of mine moved to Bermuda to start his apprenticeship as a chef. I began mailing these drawings to him and my mailing list grew from there. It simply started with people I knew. I wasn't even aware of the mail art community at large, until '98 when I participated in my first international exchange.

- Since it's a commercial gallery with overhead I suppose it's a sort of registration fee to help cover expenses....not too steep. The 5X7 board standardizes everything I guess (not sure if that's good or bad)
Just thought it fit in well with your interests.
Cheers
