Studio Drift is founded in 2006 by Ralph Nauta and Lonneke Gordijn, both graduates of the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven (NL). Their philosophy is based on creating a dialogue between opposites: nature and technology, knowledge and intuition, science fiction and fairylike poetry. They draw their inspiration from nature as a starting point both in a formal and a philosophical way, while the creative process is fuelled by innovative techniques they research.
Studio Drift explores the relationship between nature, technology and mankind. Their work comes to life by continuing collaborations with scientists, university departments & research facilities, computer programmers and engineers; the results are truly innovative and ground-breaking projects. A testament to the cross-pollination between the technically advanced and the aesthetically beautiful; permeated with awareness of future potentials.
The results are dazzling site-specific art installations that react directly to human behaviour and questioning it at the same time. While their visual language is characterized by dreamy and poetic aesthetics, the concept behind the works is often based on an unexpectedly critical engagement.
Obscura Digital, founded in 2000, is a San Francisco-based creative studio that combines next-level technology with awe-inspiring artistry to transform spaces into experiences, locations into destinations, and moments into memories.
