In the Era of Web 2.0, doesn’t happen frequently to find a letter in your mailbox, especially written by a young admirer passionate of art. Yet a few days ago, among the bills, I found a small letter with a French address. Intrigued, I opened it, discovering, with astonishment, that an unknown Susanne Lopez (a 16 year old French girl passionate about my work) asking me to send her my autograph for her imaginary museum... "WOW!" - I said to me- " therefore, can I consider myself an artist ?!?". After a few minutes investigating the network to find out who she was, I noticed that many artists around the world said they had received the same letter from her.Then I began to wonder: Is Susanne Lopez a real person? Or is she a scam? One theory says that the most common online fraudsters require these signatures to falsify the artworks? The thing (if true) flatters me even more, so I decided to turn this mysterious story into an art project which involving on the net artists around the world in order to solve the mystery.
