From Shitposting to Shitpublishing

These last years I have been spending my time publishing non-sensical books of illegible, plagiarized, stunning, low-quality, sublime, and uncanny content. I was developing a weird publish‐ ing project that aimed to grasp the extremely online poetics, dis‐ placing shitty content from forums, wikis, and digital platforms into books. Practicing trollish literature. These books display cursed memes, poorly translated novels, keysmashed text, random images, lorem ipsums, YouTube comments, Wikipedia graffiti, niche forum discussions, motivational quotes, spam, ai-generated blog entries, pixelated and saturated photos, boring amateur poems, and automatic video transcriptions. In this article, I describe these publishing experiments as attempts to go from shitposting to shitpublishing.
