“For me, Twitter is a public persona. It's UbuWeb or Kenneth Goldsmith (as opposed to Kenny Goldsmith). I don't interact. It's a lousy form for conversation and opinion (what can you really say in 140 characters?), but a wonderful propaganda and sloganeering tool. I use it as a one-way street.” WayCharacterUseFormOpinionWonderfulStreetsConversationToolsOne WayPropagandaPersonaKenny140 CharacterKenneth Author:Kenneth Goldsmith

“I don’t trust painting. At least not in New York. Most painting here relies on formula and repetition, whoring itself to the market. There seems to be no risk and once a painter gets a strategy, very little exploration. As a result, I stopped thinking about painting a long time ago. I prefer forms of art that are more market-resistant, more idea-based, more - for lack of a better word - risky.” ThinkingLittlesArtIdeasSeemsFormResultsRiskNew YorkPaintingStrategyPainterRelyExplorationFormulasRepetitionDon't Trust Author:Kenneth Goldsmith

But if you put it in digital form, expect it to be bootlegged, remixed, manipulated, and endlessly commented upon.” IfsWantReasonFormDigitalWant Something Author:Kenneth Goldsmith
