Jasmine Benyamin - Contingent
People escape from the normal way things were by using several different devices, through advertising, architecture and land art. Smithson did several "non-site" projects that are not useful for consumerism that are representations of the actual site. Spiral jetty project is constantly changing depending on the water level at any particular time and may be either revealed or hidden. Decided to use the natural decay of materials as an interesting design tool. Project by German designer, Hess, is an example of non-art in a kind of response to Smithson, strange collection of strips of thin material. The Igualada Cemetery is another experiment with materials in embracing their nature instead of forcing them to be something that they aren't.
