From A to B, Ruben van der Vleuten 2013
I've always been fascinated with the postal system, how I can drop an addressed letter into a marked box in one place and, less than 24 hours later, that letter will (seemingly) suddenly appear in front of the addressee 500 kilometres away, all whilst I've spent the night tucked up in bed, sound asleep.
Whilst I often earnestly ponder and wonder just how our mail gets delivered (usually) so efficiently and so quickly, Industrial and Interactive Designer Ruben van der Vleuten decided to find out just what the process is like by inserting a small camera in a self-addressed parcel.

van der Vleuten said that the timer circuit was set to record a 3 second video every minute and to record longer videos whilst the box was moving, so that all the action was caught on camera.
Having just one camera lens seemed not to matter as he captured a whole lot of interesting footage. His edited video above takes you through the whole postal process and has answered many of my mail-related questions.
Very fascinating.
