KESSELS, Erik. Hot or Not.

(Amsterdam): KesselsKramer for Gerrit Rietveld Academie, 2002. First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. Hotornot.com is an internet service that allows people to initiate relationships by ranking one another based on their photos and profiles. For this book, students were asked to enter a believable altered persona on the website in order to see what kind of matches came up. Hot or Not presents these profiles alongside the photographs of potential suitors (and suitresses) who responded to characters like “Sandy,” who loves step aerobics and Olivia Newton John and “Anouschka,” who enjoys “coocking pasta” for her friends. Also includes a small selection of rejected profile pictures. A very good copy in stapled wrappers, small bump / crease to bottom corner.
