<p>If something I receive disrupts my life that's exactly what I like. And while I like the idea of sending to corporations I guess you would have to use their language so to say to make sure that it really disrupts their life (i.e. send something that really looks like something they expect and then it really isn't). Sending collages or paintings increases the chance of being sorted out to waste very early, I guess. Or you find a collector. Or make someone smile for a while.</p>

<p>I took a course some years ago that involved mail art and each project involved an idea, a word, a phrase to spark maileable art (postcards or regular letter-mail size only to send to a selection of addresses. I enjoyed that activity, was speaking about it the other day and set out to look for a group doing something similar. </p>

<p>I also found these blank postcards from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KY78P6O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2PV22GOU5WP8M" target="_blank">amazon</a>. </p>
<p>I think I'll buy these and experiment with collage on these. I might also try to experiment on making my own postcards from scratch.</p>
