With the current WEB 2.0 tools available I wonder where this all will lead to in the future. What functions will computers have in our communication in about 50 years?
Embassy of italian social network the DodoDada/Arte postale: point of encounter and comparison for all those that have practiced, practice and will practice MAIL ART...
I love Mail Art and am inovlved with it and in it as it is the Eternal and Ephemeral Network simultaneously--in Mail Art is a Freedom a person may have no where else in this world--freedom from fees, freedom from judegements, freedom of expression. Mail Art celebrates communication and giving freely and being open to receive communications and to celebrate being alive among and along with other living beings--to give Thanks--to critique injustice, inequality, inhumanity--and to make messages, objects, images, sounds freely--unattached to any ownerships and controls. Mail Art is without saying it is, without planning "authoritatively" to be--it is with humility a way of changing life--in this world with other lives--
Peace, david-bc

Juro que la tierra será ciertamente completa para aquél o aquélla que
sean completos;
la tierra permanece mellada y quebrada tan sólo para aquél o aquélla
que permanezcan mellados y quebrados.
WALT WHITMAN
Abro los sueños con un brindis
Un trago corto para una sonrisa influyente
Con su potente veneno
Como primera criatura subterránea
La amabilidad nos hace mudar
Hasta los ruidosos sonidos noctámbulos
Y repeler los ataques
Un camino que nos obliga a cambiar de estrategia
A sufrir en nuestros pezones
La relación que nos daña
Y nos convierte en adultero de un dios pagano
II
El regreso- Ideas de poder y riquezas
Finas lanzas miran al cielo
Al toque de trompetas de ángeles
Caen como lluvia de pétalos
Como el maná de almas caritativas
Como los saludos victoriosos del sacerdote
Que muestra sus anillos
SEÑOR DEL PAIS SAGRADO
Le besaran la mano al paso
Y lo construirán piedra sobre piedra
Como su único profeta.
