A postcard for understand what war is and what it means to us. A world gone mad, one tired and old Europe where well-being has made us blind, mean and indifferent to the evils that afflict the poorest and most distant peoples What do you think should be done to ease the pain of others more unfortunate than you?

MIDECIANT invites creatives from all over the world and those who want to join the initiative, to participate in the “III MAIL ART CALL. tribute to IBIRICO”. All works received will be part of the Mail Art collection of the International Museum of Electrography, MIDECIANT.
The TAM Rubberstamp Archive will be 40 years old in 2023. Time to create a new rubberstamp to celebrate that. Designs and/or actual prints of special designs are welcome. A special small piece of paper will be printed and distributed for this project. Since a lot goes digital these days, all digital designs are welcome. Documentation will be done in a digital way. The final results that actually make it to a real rubberstamp will be used on the outgoing mail-art. If you are the designer, you can make your own rubberstamp as well and support this celebration.
do consider what [e]mailart is and could be. consider what's the difference between merely sending a simple attachment or image as an email body or otherwise sending a real piece of art that uses all the capacity of what embodies the digital world and the ancient email technology and protocols.
can a mere attachment be considered a work of art? or should we explore something that resides in the body of the email and is changeable and unique and unable to subsist in any other medium than that?
alternatively, you may also submit some words, your point of view on the matter, or even an essay regarding the "digital world vs mailart vs [e]mailart vs art".
any questions regarding the open call should not be sent to us by email as they won't be replied to.
