The movement is difficult to assign a definitive label, mostly due to the diversity and ever-changing texture of the network. It's rich with creative collaboration and experimentation. You can play too. There are few rules, and you might find a creative outlet that has been lacking in your life. Mail Art is a network not unlike that associated with business and the 80's.
Mail Art can develop awareness and encourage actions.
Mail Art unlike the exclusive illusive and insular business of the money oriented art world, the Mail Art Network is an open empowering world. Mail art is also known as correspondence art, postal art, and networking art. This art form is ancient. The father of the US Mail Art movement is credited to Ray Johnson of the Black Mountain College. He established in the 60's The New York Correspondence School.
