Library of Artistic Print on Demand

Post-Digital Publishing in Times of Platform Capitalism

Edited with text by Andreas Bülhoff, Annette Gilbert.

Writings on the new international subcultures of print on demand

Print on demand has revolutionized publishing. Digital printing and online platforms such as Blurb, Lulu and Kindle Direct Publishing allow anyone to publish work immediately and without financial risk, opening up spaces beyond the trade book world and ostensibly democratizing production. Today an entire subculture is exploring print on demand in search of new economies and publics, while also critically negotiating our digital present. The Library of Artistic Print on Demand maps this experimental field for the first time, exploring its global spread, history, contradictions and political relevance through writings from international publishers and authors.
Contributors include: Hannes Bajohr, Clara Balaguer, Manon Bruet, Florian Cramer, Jasper Otto Eisenecker, J. Gordon Faylor, Michael Hagner, Dagmara Kraus, Silvio Lorusso, Michael Mandiberg, Holly Melgard, Kathrin Passig, Paula Roush, Zoë Sadokierski, Sophie Seita, Danny Snelson, Paul Soulellis, Angie Waller, Joey Yearous-Algozin and Rahel Zoller.
