The
piece is a compilation of emails received upon placing the personal
pages of a fictitious man and woman on the Internet. The facial
features of this couple were a digital composite lifted from
various fragments of identification photos. Each page had its
own email address, and a series of messages where posted to
Usenet forums dedicated to personal ads. The posts contained
the web page URL as well as its text.
The project began in September 1996, upon the opening of the
exhibit En Tránsito/ Señales presentes, (In Transit
/ Present Signals) which took place in the Fundación
Banco Patricios, in Buenos Aires. The piece culminated in January
1997 for the opening of the same exhibit in the Museo del Chopo,
in México. Approximately one hundred emails received
were on exhibit in the Museo del Chopo, as well as published
on the Internet site, Fin del Mundo.
