- Subseries
- 1996-2000, predominantly 1999-2000
Part of Anna Banana fonds
Subseries was created from 1999-2000. While the internet had been present previously, more and more correspondence is conducted virtually during this period, with discourse occurring which questions the validity of email as “true” mail art, which is reflected in much of the material. Printing also becomes a digitally sourced endeavor, with more mail art reflecting access to stylization made available with programs like Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop.
Items in this subseries are predominantly letters and envelopes, often decorated, but also include photographs, drawings, xerox art, found objects and small sculptural items, collage, and other visual mediums, often integrated into the letters and envelopes. Banana would often print out emails as well, especially those which were distinctly related to the question of mail art and its transition into a digital sphere, and received much correspondence and art obviously created through digital means.
