Melissa Wagner-Lawler: "danven0701 is an artists' book that tells the story of two people searching for something. One is on a quest to find love, the other's search isn't as direct - as least initially. "This book explores romantic communication in the digital environment. Although online dating is not a new phenomenon, in recent years, online dating has been co-opted by individuals who portray themselves as others. This is known as 'catfishing,' while the person portraying someone else is referred to as a 'catfish.' "Based on a true story. "This artists' book contains two books in one! The first is a single sheet fold book using screen printing and toner transfer to represent the romantic aspects of the relationship. The second book is a double pamphlet stitch digitally printed book that shows the email exchange over the course of several months."--http://www.biblio.com/book/danven0701-wagner-lawler-melissa/d/921372620
