There is an ongoing debate among some artists as to just what the relationship of e-mail art to Mail Art should be considered to be. In addition to questions about whether this is even a valid or meaningful genre of art, as clearly almost any kind of digital-based art can be e-mailed, thus making it into "e-mail art," has been particular criticism of e-mail art by tradition-minded mail artists when the e-mail art has been perceived to be akin to Mass Media . Other criticisms of e-mail art from a mail artist's perspective have focused on the lack of dimensionality of the attachment, the lack of intimacy as opposed to real mail {Link without Title} . Many of the criticisms overlap those levelled against the Internet and World Wide Web in general. Some artists have also collaborated by sending e-mail attachments back and forth, a process known as '' Photoshop Tennis ''; the Surrealist game of Exquisite Corpse has also been adapted to e-mail. (These have been paralleled by collective musical compositions done by e-mail {Link without Title} .) SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS AND REFERENCES
