The BBC covered this “slow art” project called Real Snail Mail at Bournemouth University in the UK which will be showcased in Los Angeles in August.

Basically, a tank of snails with RFID tags in their shells slide past one of two RFID transmitters. One delivers the email to the snail and then eventually when the snail makes it to the other side of the tank the email gets picked up and sent to the ‘net.
