Synopsis
Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, an earthwork sculpture on the Great Salt Lake, provides a backdrop for DiElectric Drift. This five-minute documentary uses hand-processed 16mm film and analog video synthesis to examine concepts of impermanence and entropy. It reflects on the nature of artistic creation over time and questions the meaning of monumental gestures that are ultimately transient. Early video art complements the visual exploration of these themes.
