DRIFT ONE
DRIFT TWO
DRIFT THREE

One of the basic, Situationist practices is the dérive [literally: “drifting”], a technique of rapid passage through ‘varied ambiances’. Dérives involve playful-constructive behavior and awareness of psychogeographical effects, and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll.

It is an unplanned journey through a landscape, usually urban, in which participants drop their everyday relations and "let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there".

The goal of a drift is to follow your intuition with intention
To create the conditions for chance encounter
To experience your surroundings differently
