Have I sent Envelope no.3?

by Mel Anie

Dec 14, 2020

I sent an e-mail this morning as a form of artwork delivery. I could just as easily have printed it off my computer and put it in the mail. Except, I couldn't because I didn't have a physical mailing address but the mail would have been my auto default.  I could call this Envelope no. 3 from me to an IUOMA member but it wasn't in an envelope.

For those who want to draw their lines neatly, what have I just done?

Have I sent mail art

Have I sent e-mail art

Have I sent digital art

Have I sent copy art

Have I sent ephemeral art

Have I sent art

Have I started up a correspondence

What have I done?

PS. I have categorised this as Mail-Art Discussions. What have I done?

      You've sent an ''e-mail'' art piece by electronic email. To me, real mail art is done through postal system (physical piece)

        I agree, Predrag; it is not my number 3. Now, what if I hand deliver something  - because of geographical proximity and economic necessity - but it is in an envelope and uses postage stamps (cancelled or artistamps)? Would I count that as mail art?
