A shot that was taken walking around Robert Smithson's Earthworks project "Spiral Jetty" in Utah. The Jetty is usually covered, but we got lucky, and it was revealed! It's a pain to get out there, so enjoy. Also, we disregarded the "Do Not Walk on Art" sign.

horrible music and very inappropriate

I agree that the voice was miscast. Also the soundtrack. Silence is golden - especially at this site.

It is from the algae, the pink crimson color. Thank you for your tribute/story concerning this work of art. I hope to see this some day.

I arrived at Rozel Point with my son, the evening of August 7th 2005 and walked the jetty at sunset; then ran the vortex the following morning after sunrise. The water was a bit higher than in this video. The stones were mostly white and the water by the shore a pink crimson in the early light.
The night sky was without moonlight until early morning so was quite magnificent with many
'shooting stars" (meteoroids).

I was there about 11 months ago with Nancy Holt and the Dia Foundation caretaker. They both encouraged me to walk on the Jetty. We even discussed the possibility of clearing some of the larger rocks from the road to make it more accessible. I saw no sign. The video associated with the creation of the work would also seem to support this view. In it Smithson runs the length of the Jetty and a Helicopter films in a dizzying spin. Clearly the "vortex" was meant to be experienced, not just viewed.

That voice! Earnest, chirpy, girlish, art-studentish -- ludicrously miscast.
Otherwise, nice.

Smithson really wasn't interested in conservation, his writinngs on entropy and the work's gradual return to the base materials it's made of are perhaps the most radical aspects of his practice, anyone who has seen the film Smithson and Nancy Holt made of the work would not dispute the fact you're meant to walk on it.

BS, Smithson would want you to walk on it.

The video was nice, but... when we went, we chose to *not* walk on the art. It's a conservation thing....
