great ideas going on here...
one thought..the collages i've made in the past have been on thick stock and with the glue/images, results in it not being able to be folded/rolled..so flat shipped i'm guessing..somehow.

antimotion,
working off your idea of the sups being total shit. I have a spinoff that involves just a bit more postage (very little though).So, the collaboration comes in the form that we split off into partners. Each partner sends the other one image that the other must put in their collage. This way, you will send an image/cut out to your partner, but not necessarily know what will come of it in the end.
Once the partner receives the piece, they have to put it in their collage. This would all still be based on the theme we pick, but you may get a cut out that doesn't quite fit what you were thinking for your collage and still have to work it in.
I am totally cool with it being personal, but i do like the idea of having some sort of a wrench tossed in to make you work around (in a good way).

THEMES:
1. Privacy in the modern age (imo, this may be the most important of our generation...)2. Future (past visions / looking ahead)
3. Borders (physical / digital)
4. Reality / Theoretical (for instance, the theory that the universe is a hologram I find interesting.)
5. Humanity (perceived state of... have we evolved, devolved, revolved - did this turn into an INXS song, who knows...)
PRODUCTION:
I love to collaborate, but the idea of putting a physical collage together then sending it in the mail to another artist / designer could be potentially dangerous regarding the safety of the work. I'm in NYC and the usps is a total joke - in a not funny scary kind of, possibly sad way. For real.As an alternative, maybe it would be possible to do "your part" then scan and send digitally. The second party can print it or something then add their touch...
Or
Simply say, "hey, we're collaborating because we're chatting to one another" and each person takes responsibility to provide a page, spread.
The collaborative glue would be the theme.
I vote for the latter personally : )
My 2 cents.
- ive always used fedex for ntpe and qbntpe, yes nyc usps is bad news.e-pill
- Some cardboard and a padded envelope should be fine.monospaced

Purple
Nature
The Figure
EyesAnyone else have any ideas?

12x12 sounds perfect. i like the square format and it will also transform into the 7x7 softcover book nicely.
- monospaced0
Regarding size restrictions, we should pick something that can be mailed easily. Perhaps a standard mailing size that won't kill us on shipping costs, especially when going international.
I feel like a 12x12-inch canvas would be nice (or similar). Maybe we all start with the same archival boards that we can purchase regardless of location, so everything is consistent.
- 12x12 is a nice size, and there are mailers that will fit perfectly.DRIFTMONKEY
