The transmission and retrieval of these responses will generate narratives shared and reacted to through the temporary ownership of hybrid texts and images. The postcards are being archived as a document of all these objects of correspondence that have been battered, manipulated, over-written, evidencing the physical handlings of thoughts and creativities. Some of the postcards will have been lost along the way and are floating around the postal system somewhere; an absence that will never be restored. Currently there are 140 postcards in circulation around the world.
