Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson recalibrated the limits of art, embracing the new media of their time. One of the ways Holt/Smithson Foundation develops each artists' distinctive creative legacies is through digital programming. Our website is our center for study, and it is open to all, twenty-four hours a day. Our digital focus allows us to connect Holt and Smithson’s art, ideas and legacies to people, no matter where they are in the world.

Through our Tuesday Text program we digitally publish texts from our Scholarly Text Program, engaging with a digital audience to share new thinking on individual works by Holt and Smithson. Our Wednesday Writings focus on Holt and Smithson's writings, which provide an unparalleled vantage into the concepts, processes, and thoughts that guided their artwork. Our Thursday Thoughts look to interviews and lectures with Holt and Smithson, and to our ongoing Oral History project.  During the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic we created the Friday Films series, offering a moment to connect digitally through a weekend screenings of moving image works by Holt and Smithson, and this occasional program continues. 

Collaboration is at the heart of all we do, and our Digital Programs are no exception. In response to the global climate emergency, in 2022 Holt/Smithson Foundation  joined twenty-seven arts organizations across the world to form the World Weather Network, a ground-breaking constellation of “weather stations” located across the world in oceans, deserts, mountains, farmland, rainforests, observatories, lighthouses, and cities. In 2024 and 2025 we worked with our partners Land Art Lives, Land Art Contemporary, and Land Arts of the American West to present from Dawn till Dusk, a livestream conversation between two iconic earthworks by Robert Smithson: Spiral Jetty (1970) and Broken Circle/Spiral Hill (1971).
