Dear friend,
Thank you for making it here, I am glad you found this.
Please read the following information carefully and decide for yourself if this analog mail club of mine is something you'd like to invite in to your life.
It might be a commitment, but if you are anything like me, there'll be much enjoyment in it for you. As for me, there'll be great enjoyment to find and cater to a group of people who share a similar curiosity for the world.
A loving prewarning right away: As with anything selfmade, there will be typos – I write and edit things by hand and not always bother with a stellar spell check.
Each month, I send out a letter that is carefully crafted around a theme from the spheres of Art, Science, Design & Technology. It is my way of staying in active exchange with this incredible scence of artists, designers and researchers who are working and thinking in new and exciting ways. Additionally, it helps me to amplify voices and perspectives that feel worth sharing, who are considerate of the human condition and our challenges. It is my contribution to support our collective outlooks on the future: Each of these letters will be filled with small and big ideas from potential worlds to come and consider. Together with collaborators, I will try to make these new ideas accessible and most importantly, tangible through an ever-changing assortment of expert interviews, exclusive insights, invitations to shows and events, maybe even a short story occassionally, for my fellow sci-fi and speculative ficition fans.
Most excitingly: Each letter will feature a limited edition artwork, which not only allows artists to produce something that might not exist without this club, but also enables you to build your own art collection over time.
Each edition comes with a museum grade print of an artwork or design object that resonates with the theme of the month.
Each print comes in a limited collectible format, numbered and signed by the artist.
The exact number gets decided in coordination with the artist and is initially only available via this club and this set price.
Artists are free to distribute a part of the edition with their own, likely higher, pricing.
In some cases, these limited editions will be the first one's the artists ever release.
All prints are acid free and printed with high UV resistance.
This means, if you take care of it well, it will last 100+ years.
Your only responsibility is choosing the frames in case you decide show them in your spaces.
One carefully composed letter each month, your own private exhibition tour so to say, right in your post box. Giving you time to reflect and absorb the themes, read up more, expand on them or even send them onwards to a loved one.
The club works on a subscription basis – you can cancel anytime, no questions asked.
By payment, you agree to us saving and processing your data in the context of this mail club (e.g. sending an email if needed).
If you are signed up & your payment reached us before the end of the month, you will already receive a letter during the following month.
Please be aware that all letters are shipped with regular stamps in order to keep your membership affordable, so they will not include tracking information.
We package the letters extra safely, however, should a print ever arrive damaged after all, please do reach out to mia.meus@proton.me
In this club, we love the future and we want to do our best to end up somewhere good.
We believe that great futures need informed and curious people with grand visions and great science, wide access to knowledge and a lot of collaboration between disciplines and a diverse range of people. We celebrate and create thoughtful perspectives on emerging science trends, new technologies, and ideas that have the potential to shape our tomorrow in beneficial ways. We enjoy deep dives into topics, further readings, cultural events, podcasts, movies and adore discussing media.
If this sound like you, it'd be lovely to have you around!
For now, this club will only exist as a physical dispatch, but hopefully, we'll host events down the line as well.
