You've Got Mail!

Opening today, the online exhibition FW: Re: Re: explores a medium even our grandparents have become accustomed to: email. Organized by Rhizome's curatorial fellow Luis Silva from the ArtBase, FW: Re: Re: pulls together work produced over the past three years to present a variety of subversive approaches to this ubiquitous technology.

The show works like this:

1) Visit this page
2) Enter your email address
3) Receive the exhibition in your inbox

The format opens the exhibition up to the uncertainty and ephemerality inherent to email -- meaning that these works can be activated or discarded just as quickly as they appear.
