Bernadette Corporation, Media Hot and Cold, 2010. Ten hardcover publish-on-demand books with dust jackets.

Media Hot and Cold is a set of books made with the publish on demand service, Blurb. The titles are Moby-Dick, The Coming Insurrection, Cupcakes, The Koran, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Howl, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, I Love Dick, Open and The Crack-Up. Written with amassed customer reviews from net commerce sites as well as various blogs and social networking sites, these books suggest the emergence of a sort of post- or para- literary practice within the global village – the unbridled communicative activity, and a space for exercising subjectivity, that happens in the pragmatic environment of consumer-to-consumer sharing.
