mail art
a long time ago on raw someone said they considered mail art dead and buried
because it wasn't and isn't big in the galleries and museums.
it wasn't intended to be.
mail art goes on still, also.
just because some art is conceived outside the contexts of the art commodity
infrastructure does not mean it is inconsequential.
it may only be inconsequential or non-existant to those who live in an
environment that can barely conceive of art outside the art commodity
infrastructure. art as inherantly capitalistic. no other possibility. very
sad.

New book: Prehistoric Digital Poetry by Chris Funkhouser
I just got Chris Funkhouser's new book: 'Prehistoric Digital Poetry -- An
Archaeology of Forms, 1959-95'.
A couple of URLs for it: http://www.uapress.ua.edu/NewSearch2.cfm?id3757
(U of Alabama Press), and http://tinyurl.com/2kuh89 (Amazon.com).
I'm looking forward to giving this a good read. It's the first book-length
look at the 45 years of pre-web digital poetry.
