Fax art

Fax art is art specifically designed to be sent or transmitted by a facsimile machine, where the "fax art" is the received "fax". It is also called telecommunications art or telematic art.[1] "Fax art was another means of mediating distances," according to art historians Annmarie Chandler and Norie Neumark.[2] Fax art was first faxed in 1980, but that was not documented until 1985. [2] On January 12, 1985, Joseph Beuys together with Andy Warhol and the Japanese artist Kaii Higashiyama participated in the "Global-Art-Fusion" project. This was a Fax-Art project, initiated by the conceptual artist Ueli Fuchser, in which a fax was sent with drawings of all three artist within 32 minutes around the world - from Dusseldorf (Germany) via New York (USA) to Tokyo (Japan), received at Vienna's Palais Liechtenstein Museum of Modern Art. This fax was a statement of peace during the Cold War in the 1980s. [3] The earliest scholarly note of fax art in art history was in 1990 by Karen O'Rourke.[4]
