This call started october 2002. I sent like forty call postcards (a crappy photocopy, yes). Of course, they had an incorrect web site address... I'm gonna send more poscards (with correct address) in the future. Also, some nice people and myself have placed this call info in their sites:

At the beginnings of January 2003 I'll send a special documentation to all current participants. I'm yet keepping the end of 2003 for closing the call and sending final documentation to everybody.

(7-1-03) I sent the first documentation to all current participants. I received Dragonfly's postcard when I already had the copies done so she appears in a kind of stamp that I improvised the last moment.
There will be more special documentation in the future. When? It depends on the number of participants that I'm getting.

(25-4-03) The second documentation will be sent probably toward the end of may.

(30-6-03) Did I say may? Today I sent the second documentation to everybody.
The next documentation will be at the end of the call after december. Participations from now on will get something on return.

(13-1-04) Well, the call is officially closed but I won't begin doing the final documentation until february (optimistic prevision) so you may still send works...

(9-3-04) I've deleted the galleries at this site. All the images (like 240 files) are at the photos section link bellow. There is no author indexed interface but the names of the files are descriptive. If you want a better resolution version of any of the images, ask me. Still thinking about the doc...

(16-4-04) The final documentation will soon be done. I hope to have sent it all by this month. Not that it requires so much work, it's simply that I'm a lazy ass and it's 100+ copies.

(23-4-04) I sent the last envelopes with the final documentation. I'll keep this page and the gallery linked bellow, at least during this year. I plan to compile a documentation CD, essentially what you've got at this site, with better resolution images and some additional details. I'll not be able to sent it to all the participants. But if somebody is specially interested or is building a mail art archive can ask for it.

Participants

There goes a list of contributors that I'll actualize from time to time. Maybe at some moment I'll scan the works and include them here...
(17-12-02) Well I did it! Have a look at the Gallery 1

Since I ran out of space in this account, the gallery continues in Gallery 2.

Eventualy I'll have to delete the galleries since they take too much space. I've put all the images in four folders at the final Gallery .
