45 letters to Magnussons before the spring
net art, 2007
I explore digital geography, in the analog world. I write to people whose data I find in the virtual stream at the physical and real spaces where they are. I take pictures of the handwritten signs in my letters, signs that speak about me, and I send them in physical form to persons that touch this “intromission” as they rip open the envelope.
45 letters to Manussons on line returns the data to where it came from, but with new layers. The digital geography of the ones I wrote to has been altered and it's now tied to mine. All the jpeg and html files that document the letters are named for the persons I send them to, the files can appear as links when looking up the person's name on a search engine. This online project is a public document of the private epistolary event between each Magnusson and me.
