ubuweb...the archive i like




UBUWEB is a website in which are available audio and video resources about avantgarde, ethnopoetics and outsider art. All the video and audio files are free and, trust me, it was very hard to find this kind of material both for the its peculiarity ( indipendent authors'movies) and for the copyright issues. "thank u web for this!" i want to scream. As the about UBUWEB state : "The pioneers of concrete poetry could only dream of the now-standard tools used to make language move and morph, stream and scream, distributed worldwide instantaneously at little cost."
IF you are intersted in poetry, literature...probably you will like this web archive as much as i like it, a free archive that survives only for an alliance of interest, for a sympthetic feeling.
ps do u like William Burroughs? check the UBUresources:
The Cut-Up Films of William S. Burroughs (1963-1972)
