Printed Web #1 is the first publication devoted to web-to-print art and discourse. Featuring 64 pages of new work by artists who use screen capture, image grab, site scrape and search query. Printed Web #1 is part of Library of the Printed Web, a collection of works such as self-published artists’ books, photo books, texts and other print works gathered around the casual concept of “search, compile and publish.” Artists featured in Library of the Printed Web use vast landscapes of data to collect and transform digital information into analog experience; every work in the collection is a printed expression of search engine pattern discovery. Many of the collected works share common production and publishing techniques (e.g., print-on-demand), even as the content itself varies widely.
