LuAnn Palazzo started the process for this artwork, where each artist would receive the image via email and after adding their elements, the image would be passed on to the next artist. Once completed, the artwork was printed as a high resolution 14" x 11" image for the exhibit.
Artists’ Statement:
“Don't Touch That Button” is a piece premised on the Exquisite Corpse game invented by the Surrealists, in which a collection of words or images was assembled by artists who added to a composition in sequence. The Mail Art version of the game, called Add and Pass, was played by these seven international artists in May 2014 expressly for this exhibition. They played the game across half a world, using email to digitally complete the collage.
