Nervous Industries at
Nervousness.org try experiments in what they call
Land Mail (formerly/also known as
Snail Mail), to see if we can find new ways for
people to
interact and
communicate. They're trying to reacquire the (what they consider to be)
misused acronym of LMAO and use it for good. Now, LMAO stands for
Land Mail Art Objects. These
objects are of such a nature that
anybody can make them. They include
notebooks,
visual albums,
boxes,
mix tapes, and they are sent all over the world, to anyone that signs up for them at
Nervousness.org, and finally returned to their original owners. Clearly there's a great deal of
trust that goes into sending your object into the
world, and they say this is really just a
new experiment that they're not sure will work or not.
"It's the everyman's version of the lovely 1000 Journals Project".
Other such examples of experiments and projects to do with Land Mail objects can be found at 20things.org or 1000journals.com.
