It is also called telecommunications art or telematic art. "Fax art was another means of mediating distances", according to art historians Annmarie Chandler and Norie Neumark.

This was a Fax-Art project, initiated by the conceptual artist Ueli Fuchser, in which
Fax transmitted. This is effective as most lines differ little from their predecessor. This is not continued to the end of the fax transmission, but only for a limited number of lines until the process is reset and a new 'first line' encoded with MH is produced. This limited number of lines is to prevent errors propagating throughout the whole fax, as the standard does not provide for error-correction. This is an optional facility, and some fax machines do not use MR in order to minimise the amount of computation required by the machine. The limited number of lines is two
