Informed Delivery: March 4th

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy admits he doesn’t know how much it costs to mail a postcard

Project description

The United States Postal Service allows you to preview your mail before it is delivered. I took advantage of this feature to create animations from mailed postcards, like a flipbook scanned through the lens of a federal institution. 

It began as an art project with general criticism of government surveillance; these same images of mail are offered by the USPS upon request to almost any law enforcement agency, without warrant. However, in mid August, it quickly shifted towards something much more direct: Criticism of the newly installed, useless Postmaster General, and sincere encouragement to USPS workers to disobey and obfuscate his directives however they may.

I’ve made a blog post about art, technology and nostalgia, written on paper tape and enclosed in a cassette shell. You can read it here.

Concerned about Apple’s deletion of the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone 7? Now you can use ancient pneumatic headphones instead of proprietary Lightning or Bluetooth devices. The phone’s own internal speaker delivers sound to the ears through hollow tubes. 

Hello emoticon fans! Just popping in with a recent media art project. I hope you’re all well \(‘w’)/
