What is Entropy?
Entropy, in a broader sense, refers to the inevitable deterioration or decline of a society or system. In art, the concept was popularized by artist Robert Smithson in the 1960s. He used the term to critique what he saw as the static and overly simplified nature of contemporary minimalist art. Smithson's work often explored the idea of entropy as a force of chaos and decay, contrasting with the perceived order and purity of minimalist works.
