This project consists of using mail art or creating a new network. I am paired with Sophie and Francois and we have been focusing on creating a new network.
Ideas:
- Send letters with small typical british objects to different countries to random people
and ask them to send a little something of their countries back to us.
- Find an old mail art project and see if the network continues or if it is actually dead.
- Send cards with a question and ask to answer through sending me an object.
- Put post-its in public bathrooms and let them continue the conversations.
One night we decided to stick post-its on the bathroom wall in a pub where Sophie works.
The audience weren't really young and men especially took a very long time to co-operate. Some decided to throw all the post-its in the toilet and urine on it. It was very disrespectful. But as the night went on to my surprise they started to co-operate. However next time we should find a more up beat bar.

- The toilet network seemed to be the strongest idea and the one which seemed to have the most response. We now decided instead of post-its to use stickers which would be available for the people to stick wherever they want. We created a website and designed a couple of stickers. These are the stickers I designed.
