This Place Does Not Exist Artist's Book by Melissa Wagner-Lawler

$1,800.00

“This work explores the juxtaposition of man-made and artificial intelligence-made imagery by feeding short descriptions describing the real-life, albeit unassuming, place in Dall-e. The relatively banal sites used in the book were documented and determined randomly on a road trip during May 2022.

Created in 2024 with multiple plate reductive relief linoleum prints generated by the artist. CMYK letterpress print imagery generated by Dall-e and poetry generate by ChatGPT. Photopolymer plates for text created by Boxcar Press. Printed on Rives Heavyweight Cream-White and handmade Khadi paper on a Vandercook SP-15. Binding structure created by Claire Van Vliet and modified by the artist. Goudy Old Style and Highway Gothic Wide typefaces used throughout. Production assistance from Gianna Friedl.” -Melissa Wagner-Lawler
