Welcome Joey Patrickt. I follow him on Instagram and I have enjoyed seeing his collages.

thank you for the kind welcome.

yes...and one could see by whom one is influenced - the mood one was into when he/she created the envelope..personal interests....etc  

today it is already possible to see through evaluation of ones internet-behaviour if the person is pregnant or in which state of menstrual cycle she is. I read in an article that pregnant people would be the most interesting target group for personalised advertisements at the moment.

And welcome to the group Rebekka. 

Now that you mention it, I wonder if the AI programs of the future will be able to find useful information from mail art posted on IUOMA. They could see geographic location based on the addresses which is probably pretty easy for them, since the USPS already photographs every envelope it processes using high speed scanners.

They could maybe figure out if a person is making unapproved political statements. Watch your use of rubber stamps with words on them starting in 2025! :-) They could be figuring out a person's general interests based on the imagery of collages or drawings. 

Well yes an AI program to generate useful data about a person based on what kind of abstract art they make could be big business.

as we make a lot of our mail art visible online...  :)

In any case, thank you for addressing such interesting topics

Thank you for reading Rebekka. Yes the nooscope is still relatively new? So my own creations on the topic were basic, but if discussion continues on the internet and it becomes more real to people, then i can see other creators making more detailed statements on it. 

I don't know how well they will be able to scope our mail art exchanges.

Hi Thomas, your article about the nooscope was very interesting. I also followed the link nooscope.ai - there were a lot things I already knew but interesting to read in other words.

In any case, a topic that is well suited for art actions.

I'm curious to see if anyone here will take up the challenge, as I'm not that politically creative myself. :)

Welcome Sabela Baña. You are in Spain but your blog is in Indonesian?

Also a big welcome to Carien van Hest of The Netherlands who is currently in the Mail Art News interview process, a rigorous days' long event that may elevate one to new heights of mail art achievement. Results may vary.

Hi Everybody. Welcome our new members Pam Chatfield and Katerina Nikoltsou! Pam has a mail art blog and Katerina has a new address. What's new with me? It's spring time here and the pollen is out in full force, causing some problems. Other than that, nothing major to report at this time. I am going to get my two weeks' worth of food and other supplies from the store up the road. 

Mail artistically, I will need to chop up some cardstock into postcard sized pieces on my days off here, so I can get some new product out there to my mail art customers.
