The beauty of Mail Art (now also become Web Art) is the fact that it is free and strongly democratic! Many art galleries and museums are closing, while the Mail Art triumphs! W THE MAIL ART AND W IUOMA!

Il bello della Mail Art (oggi diventata anche Web Art) è il fatto che sia libera e fortemente democratica! Tante Gallerie d'Arte e Musei stanno chiudendo, mentre la Mail Art trionfa!  W LA MAIL ART E W IUOMA!

For every group the owner is visible. It is even possible to start your own group and become the group moderator. That is very useful when you want to work on a specific theme with a group of people, or even to document a larger project where particitants can join in.

Lorella still doesn't come up under Members overview or  the other search for all members. Strange.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on February 17, 2017 at 6:09am

When a member leaves, he/she has two options. One is to leave all data intact (when he/she returns as a member all is available still, and others can still read and see the data). A member can also choose to delete all his contributions. Then all data is permanently lost.

Moan LIsa left the IUOMA quite a few times. Last time he also choose the option to delete all his data. He is still active on facebook, but says he left Mail-Art on Feb 8th 2017. After that date he also started to delete several digital traces. That includes groups.

The space of IUOMA on NING is not unlimited. Groupowner was one of the accounts of Moan Lisa, who left again, and all his images and groups are now gone.The digital space is a lively one. And hosting space isn't free. Groups dissapear when owners dissapear and new space come free.

moderator/ what happened to the group page FREE ART 2.0? i posted images there yesterday and today it is disappeared, there was two free-art pages, now there is only one. this seems very autocratic, who took it down?why were group members not informed or any explanation given? i am an active member of various groups at iuoma but this will discourage my involvment, what the hell is going on? who originated the group? there are too many anonymous entities at iuoma, please comment.

Am I the only one having trouble finding members these days? I was thinking it was just when I wasn't using exactly the way the person's name appears, e.g. in capital letters, with or without a hyphen, etc.

But today I was looking for Lorella from Italy. I first tried putting in "Lorella" (without the brackets) in the All Members spot. Nothing showed. I tried the advanced search, put in Italy and Female, got a list but no Lorella.

Eventually after much hunting and searching I did find a post by Lorella, who, low and behold, is exactly listed as that, Lorella. I went back and entered in her name and STILL didn't have her come up. There are no groups for Italians that I see.

Any help?? This seems to be happening since the grouping by countries and areas appeared under Mail Artist Profiles.

Thanks for any illumination!

How do I invite other IUOMA members to become friends?
Comment by Ruud Janssen on February 6, 2017 at 5:44pm

You choose 'image' and then choose the image you want. If this option doesn't appear you might use Safari as browser. Try another browser and it should work. Hope this helps you.

Support

Want to support the IUOMA with a financial gift via PayPal?

The money will be used to keep the IUOMA-platform alive. Current donations keep platform online till 1-MAY-2026. If you want to donate to get IUOMA-publications into archives and museums please mention this with your donation. It will then be used to send some hardcopy books into museums and archives. You can order books yourself too at the IUOMA-Bookshop. That will sponsor the IUOMA as well.

IMPORTANT: please use the friends/family option with donation on Paypal. That makes transaction fee the lowest.

This IUOMA platform on NING has no advertisings, so the funding is completely depending on donationsby members. Access remains free for everybody off course
