REED ALTEMUS is a prominent mail artist and founder of Toner Works - a publishing concern that publishes portfolios of copier art by contemporary artists. Professor Altemus has one of the most extensive archives of copier art in the world.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1961, he currently lives in Portland, Maine. He had been educated in literature (BA English 1985), and is self-taught in art. Formerly a musician, he started mail-art in 1989 through The Texas magazine of Daniel Plunkett. He experimented with visual art, xerography, rubber stamps, and other forms of communication. He met Carlo Pittore, an influence who became a friend until his death in 2005. Through him met Bern Porter.
In 1991 he discovered email at university and applied it to art networking immediately. He worked for the internet art journal FineArt Forum (National Science Foundation) for two years as database moderator and compiled a list of Internet Art Resources, at the time the most comprehensive of its kind (only one before had been compiled by Bob Gale). In 1992 he compiled an International Descriptive Bibliography of Copy Art. But he even continued to do mail art along with the research. In 1996 he began working in xerography exclusively and developed a small oeuvre between 1996 and 2006. He still does works in xerography on occasion.
In 2006 he realized that the technology was changing, providing fewer and fewer opportunities for the kinds of interventions he had developed, and so he began to turn towards working with the computer, (Corel Draw and Photoshop), which became and remain the main tools up to the present. He continuously does mail-art, printed matter and electronic networking via email, FaceBook, other platforms.

Es con mucho pesar que debemos anunciar su próxima experiencia decepcionante en el Venture Compound. Varios artistas de diferentes habilidades y ser vale la pena han perdido toda esperanza y decidió ser en mi show. Para este arte no habrá ningún color. Artista debe vivir en la cárcel de grises. Ya sea o no venir, todavía estoy bebiendo cerveza.
