Description:
NodeMail is a visualization tool for email and a free and open device
for social activism. The application renders NetActivism visible by exploiting
email technology. It provides information about the social relations that
configure the communication of any activism-related message.
Nodemail works as follows: everytime someone generates a message through
our web, a principal node is created. For each user who receives the message,
another node is created, and the hierarchies among these are maintained by
chronologica order. In this manner, the user can see who has sent the message
for the first time, to whom he or she has sent them, how it arrives, and which
users it has gone through. The user can also see how far his or her voice
reached, and how his or her contacts sent the message to others all
the way to the thousands or millions. It is a free and open tool for social
mobilization, for each user is free to use this device to send content.
Nodemail was selected in the International festival File 2005 from Brasil. This festival is organized in inside Du Cessi gallery, located in Paulistas avenue of Sao Paulo (Brasil). The exhibition is being open on november 1ST to 20TH.

NodeMail v 0.0
Mar Canet and Jordi Puig decided to do a Net-Art project for promote activism in the net. Our proposal was about a visualization tool for displaying an email expansion over the net.
This tool allows the people to have a visulal reference of the electronic message flow, in such a way you could easily see the magnitude of readers (and sympathizers) that a message has got.It is also important how this tool shows the email route through the users, and the hierarchy about the transmission order.
