A couple of mail art-themed songs made with the help of
Udio.com
Reading bits and pieces of Don Fabun's 1967 book,
The Dynamics of Change, here and there. Fabun was previously the editor of a sci-fi zine in the 1950s called
Rhodomagnetic Digest. It's remarkable how technologists were planning things such as flat screen televisions, online banking, personal computing devices that people would carry in their pockets, and most relevant: the dangers and benefits of super-intelligent computer programs (A.I), so many decades ago. And it's all real now!
Currently
wearing the cover art from
The Politics of Experience (1972) in the see-through-plastic front pocket of my warehouse safety vest. I'd found the cover inside of a local LFL (little free library). Listen
here if interested. I'm not always a finisher of books, whether it be in printed or audio form. I'm of the mind that you can always come back to it if you really want or need to look further into the subject matter.

Two notable things seen on Facebook during my break from blogging.
Speaking of Jon Foster, here's a little Fun-with-Foster exercise, where I've stamped yinyangs around an image of him saying yikes.
The second item from Facebook, a call for African portraits, is interesting because you really don't see much African involvement in the postal arts.
Some interesting stuff from IUOMA and really, if you see anything interesting out there in the mail art universe and you ever want to write a few lines about it and email it all to me, we can include it in a future Mail Art News blog post. It could even be one of your own works that you write about.
Mikel Untzilla is great about documenting and gets a lot of great mail. Two examples:

Rebekka Schmidt loves zines, but also enjoys reading Mail Art News. Thank you for letting me know. It always makes me feel like a million bucks when someone gives me some positive feedback about the blog.

Wow! Lots of amazing goodies here. Michael Orr, for starters, I find fascinating. I'm sure the Predictions project is fantastic. Mail art songs? Who knew? Digging many things here. All very groovy. You even included my little bit (which you didn't need to, but thanks.) CHEERS and BRAVO!
