ROBERT SMITHSON is the archetypal practitioner of the technique of data mining—that is, looking at tons of material in apparently hopeless disarray and seeing how to organize it, connect the dots. He is present in this show thanks to one of the more revered forms of data mining: scouring the cut out bins of used record shops. For the first time since 1969, and for a limited time only, visitors to the Data Mining exhibition can hear Robert Smithson describe how to make his seminal work Asphalt Rundown from 1969.
