Imagine a website that hosts thousands of tough to find art images, recordings of artists talking, experimental films, concrete poetry, and much, much more. Also imagine that this website is open source, free to anyone of visits the site. That is the website UbuWeb. On this episode of Inquiry, we talk with the person who started UbuWeb KENNETH GOLDSMITH. He teaches writing at the University of Pennsylvania. His new book is a history of UbuWeb, an introduction to numerous other website collections, and an introduction to quite a number of artists whose work you may not have experienced. Oh, and there’s a great discussion of copyright laws and “free use”. DUCHAMP IS MY LAWYER: THE POLEMICS, PRAGMATICS, AND POETICS OF UBUWEB.
