Robin

Not only doctors can be depicted in mail art, also correspondence from and to someone’s doctor can be turned into mail art.

Robin sent mail art from the USA to his doctors in Germany, to say ‘Thank you’ for a favour they had done for him.
I received these copies of his original mail art for the Your Doctor in Mail Art project:







Concerning the keyboard, one of Robin’s jobs is working in IT in Germany. Part of the job is recycling old hardware. And of course an important goal in life for defective hardware is to be turned into art.

On Robin's blog you can see several works of art, mail art as well as sculptures or jewellery.
Posted hardware can be for instance this postcard or an i-Book [text in German*].

Besides sending hardware, an other ongoing project by Robin is sending money by mail. Depending on the bill, the country and the leniency of the postal service, sometimes it is altered, sometimes laminated to stiffen it. The ‘thank you’ banknote you see above is an example of the latter.

Thanks, messi, vielen Dank, Robin!
