The career of Robert Smithson resists categorization. Although he is arguably best known for Spiral Jetty (1970), his writings, photography, drawings, architectural work, and other earthworks have each played an important role in art history, particularly since his 1973 death in an airplane crash while photographing his earthwork Amarillo Ramp.

The then mass media (press, radio and film) in the 1920s and 1930s were willed with considerable…

I will discuss the various meanings of “nature” and “technology” by referring to Cox (1989:7-12), Arthur (2009:203-15), Dusek(2006:). I will also use other sources to argue their relationship. In conjunction, I will discuss an interactive art project and how it could suggest that technology can or cannot be an extension of us as humans. I will attempt to…
