DRIFT return with a finely-tuned, high-tech tribute to the natural rhythms that surround us.

Sine references the component parts of monumental installation Amplitude, currently installed in New York City’s Rockefeller Centre. A pair of brass-tipped glass wings are connected by delicate nylon thread to a small motor and gearbox – housed in a white Corian frame illuminated by two LEDs.

From ocean tides to human breath, the edition draws inspiration from the manifold movements of nature. DRIFT co-founders Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta seek to unite onlookers as they observe the cyclical motion – extolling the profound benefits of a life lived in sync with others.

“The infinity of energy that we see in nature inspires a sense of connectedness and unity. It makes us feel part of a bigger whole.”

Ahead of launch, 10 artworks will be on public display at Fosbury & Sons in Amsterdam between Friday 29 and Sunday 31 July 2022.

DRIFT Artist Portrait by Teska Overbeeke

DRIFT3 collaborationsFor DRIFT, technology is a form of nature, and nature is a technology. This idea is at the heart of all their projects – which come in many different forms. Sculpture, installation and performance all feature. The duo also collaborate with universities, scientists and programme developers. Flylight (2015) is a prime example of their work. The installation is based on the behaviour of starlings who warn off predators by closing in on them. To mimic this, DRIFT wrote an algorithm for a huge cluster of hanging glass tubes with lights in them. The algorithm changes their movement and brightness depending on where the viewer stands. The viewer becomes the predator. The glass flock dominates the space.
