THE
ARTISTAMP COLLECTION
Mail-Art
Networking
Published by the
Administration Centre, T.A.C./ Guy Bleus in 1996
In the CD
ROM version of Guy Bleus's collection, interesting and smart, sometimes
even amazing, artistamps, cards, and envelops are displayed on the
screen in the form of a slide show. If necessary, one can stop the show
by clicking to a row of icons representing the buttons of a CD player,
go back to an image that ran too fast or jump ahead to another. Bleus's
CD ROM examines the relationship between the postal stamp and its
artistic equivalent looking for the answers to questions like "what is
an artistamp?" or "by what criteria can one define it?". One of the
answers could be that, on the computer screen, the artistamp is first of
all an image - if one did not know beforehand that what he sees is a
stamp, he might well not believe it.
