Studio Drift collective was founded in 2007 by Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta. They create multi-disciplinary site-specific installations, sculptures, objects, and films. Sustainability has been heavily explored in the duo’s artistic practice. The work studies the impact of hi-tech developments on nature and mankind’s ability to distinguish fact from fiction.
Other works featured in their Coded Nature exhibition include:
