Mail Art. Or Pen Pals. Think of it however you want.
Ray Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This man is absolutely the methodological inspiration for this. I had some inkling to begin mailing things to people for some time but the motion picture
How To Draw A Bunny (about Johnson) has absolutely spurred me to action.
Right now I'm kind of amassing a bunch of things to send to people (4 or 5 envelopes) but I hope to get letters in response and then I can return, and so on. I'm sending a lot of writing so far with very little imagery but I think that it will slowly creep in as I see fit to add things.
So the idea part and relevance to this site is: Why don't we begin something like this? I see the similarities to (problems with) the VDChain but even with our love of digital technology somehow I think that a letter sitting on a desk will get more attention than an email or a thread that we quickly lose sight of.
I'll start it off, why not.
