Created by Boredeom Research,the Real Snail Mail project, which will be part of the SIGGRAPH 2008 Slow Art Exhibition in August, uses snails kitted out with RIFD chips as “delivery agents” of electronic messages. Users of the service send a message via the Real Snail Mail Website which is routed to a holding tank at the speed of light to await collection by one of three snail agents. (via Core77)
