“Ryan’s Web 1.0. A Lossless Fall” by Ryan Trecartin Published by Link Editions, Brescia 2012 Available as a free PDF. Released on the occasion of the “Collect the WWWorld: The Artist as Archivist in the Internet Age” exhibition at 319 Scholes in New York (October 18 – November 4, 2012), this book presents the work and research behind  “A Lossless Fall 2010” by Ryan Trecartin.  The book provides a window into Trecartin’s creative practice, allowing the reader to learn more about this iconic work of contemporary art. In November 2010, Trecartin published four portraits of his long time collaborators (Lizzie Fitch, Veronica Gelbaum, Telfar Clemens, and Ashland Mines) in W Magazine, as a series entitled “A Lossless Fall 2010”.

Trecartin and his collaborators later published their research in DIS, a multi-media online art magazine, under the title “Ryan’s Web 1.0”.
