Through its activities Het Nieuwe Instituut aims to increase the appreciation of the cultural and social significance of architecture, design and digital culture and to strengthen the interaction between these disciplines. In a period characterised by radical change, Het Nieuwe Instituut wants to moderate, stimulate and facilitate debate about architecture, design and digital culture through research and a public programme. The broadening and deepening of the public’s appreciation is a fundamental starting point.
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.
