Conversation with Kenneth Goldsmith on his sound collection
Kenneth Goldsmith is the founding editor of the online archive UbuWeb (ubu.com), a universal source of reference for avant-garde art on the Internet. An underground project that has no institutional backing or budget of any kind, UbuWeb is an exhaustive and also personal repository that reflects the tastes, quirks and obsessions of its creator. A compulsive digital collector, Goldsmith’s personal archive extends far beyond the in itself unfathomable UbuWeb.
