About the Item

Studio DRIFT (b. 1978 and 1980, The Netherlands) Dandelight Dandelion, LED, phosphor bronze on concrete base with glass dome 10 x 5.6 inches diameter Drift is an art studio established in 2007 by artists Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta, based in Amsterdam In their installations and interactive sculptures the relationship between nature/ human/ technology is key. Gordijn’s fascination for nature and that of Nauta for science fiction and technology intersect in an intriguing way. Over more than a decade of their existence, Studio Drift’s work in product and furniture design has evolved into increasingly larger, often site-specific and moving installations which they have realised all over the world. They collaborate with scientists, programmers, engineers, and other specialists in the development of projects. The works occupy a wholly unique place between disciplines such as tech art, performance, and biodesign. Data and algorithms derived from natural phenomena often form the basis for Studio Drift’s work – the flight patterns of a flock of birds, for instance. With the help of state-of—the- art technologies they translate this data into poetic, meditative experiences. Their ideas regularly anticipate technological possibilities. Installations by Studio Drift are exhibited worldwide at leading museums, fairs and institutes such as the Victoria & Albert Museum (UK), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (NL), World Expo Shang Hai (CN), Miami Basel, Miami (US), Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam (NL), M.A.D. New York (US), The Israel Museum (IL), Abu Dhabi Art Fair (UAE) and La Biennale di Venezia (IT), Biennale de São Paolo (Brazil) and the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (NL). ____________________________________ Dandelight is a subtle and imaginative light. The concept is based on the same idea as Studio Drift’s most well-known work Fragile Future III: an utopian vision of the amalgamation between nature and technology. Dandelight is made of a real dandelion, which is picked in large numbers by hand every spring. Each seed is glued onto a LED, one by one. This labor-intensive process symbolizes the fragility of life. It can be understood as a clear statement in respect to the mass production and the prevailing disposable culture of today’s culture. Are rapid technological developments of our time really progressed beyond the evolution of nature, of which the dandelion is such a symbolic and transitory example? Or could the two evolve together and meet again in the future? Dandelight can be seen as an expression of a critical yet utopian vision of the future of our planet: where two seemingly contradictory trends will strike a pact to survive anyway. Studio Drift is known for this quirky and distinctive aesthetic idiom and depicting nature -both formal and philosophical- always as a reference. “The world is one big exhibition if you only care to look.” -Lonneke Gordijn.
