drawing they make. The FAX-projects are an example of how the location of the<br />

artist isn't important anymore. He an produce art at his home while it occurs<br />

somewhere else too."<br />

No. 7 (December 30, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "I<br />

started to make a list of all the mail-artists I know that also have an E-mail<br />

address and I realize that there are only a few I know. I am not that active with Email<br />

yet, but what I remember from the BBS-world (I started with that in 1986 or<br />

so) is that there is a real kind of anarchy in that world. no judgment on the quality<br />

of what is being sent at all."<br />

No. 8 (January 28, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages).<br />

"When your E-mail address is out there you can get mail from anybody who<br />

wants to react just to your 'name.' Also being mentioned in one of the E-mail<br />

magazines means that your address gets around and that people start to send<br />

you invitations. Good and bad ones I must say. There isn't that much difference<br />

compared to the 'snail-mail' as mail-art has been named now."<br />

No. 9 (April 11, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "I made a<br />

two special arti-stamps so far that have to do with E-mail. One says: "I couldn't<br />

have sent this by E-mail" to emphasize that the snail-mail is a completely<br />

different (analog) communication form."<br />

No. 10 (April 19, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "I know<br />

of mail-artists that are starting their own homepages. I myself also have a very<br />

small homepage with only a few lines, but the fact is that you don't mail the<br />

homepage to your (mail-) friends. You are waiting till they come and access your<br />

host (via Internet), and then they can just see what you made in a digital form. I<br />

miss the interaction a bit on this front."<br />

No. 11 (May 17, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "This<br />

article I would also like to discuss the e-zines as they n(o)w appeared in he<br />

network. The e-zines I know all consist of a text file that contains information the<br />

editor has received or that the editor has typed himself. They are produced on<br />

computers but are distributed like the traditional zines with one central point."<br />
