The International Union of Mail-Artists is where the IUOMA stands for, but actually it is one of the aspects of the Mail-Art that Ruud Janssen has produced in the last 38 years. A lot has been written by him in this period and in his BLOG he writes about the most recent views and thoughts. For Snail-Mail write to: iuoma@outlook.com

Digital Future and Wordwideweb stamps
Testing the newly made stamps 'Digital Future" and "Worldwideweb" on two envelopes that will go out by traditional mail. Will people get the meaning? A lot of old time mail-artists recently enbraced the Internet too (I speak of the last decade) and start to declare that all their mail-art will be digital.
For me, the art is still a process with artifacts. I only use Internet as an aspect in it, but the concept also has to deal with the other 'multimedia' ingredients. The envelope that carries the newly designed rubberstamps, the subberstamps themselves, prints of my Facebook pages to document all of the process, etc....
So, the future is not digital at all, like we human beings aren't digital. We like the artifacts.
