The site, in 1996

A free digital library of avant-garde art, film and music, and of visual, concrete and sound poetry, started by the poet Kenneth Goldsmith.

Goldsmith began it in 1996. In January 2024 it announced it was no longer active, then resumed in February 2025, citing political changes in America and elsewhere.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
