adrift was first presented at the exhibition “Digital Hopes” as part of the International biennale of ecological art, which was visited by 18,000 people over three months.
adrift is an audiovisual installation driven by a generative algorithm that simulates the melting of glaciers. In this work, the artists visualize the fragility and inevitability of natural processes.
The project was inspired by the UN’s declaration of 2025 as the Year of Glaciers. Born and raised in the North, the artists personally understand how the movement of ice shapes social, cultural, domestic, and economic life. With climate change, the timing of ice drift is shifting, triggering a chain reaction of changes that disrupt long-established traditions.
The viewer’s experience is one of meditative contemplation — observing the glacier breaking apart from shifting perspectives. Each iteration generates new patterns of fragments, while the careful modulation of pace and flow creates a compelling narrative that reveals the subtle intricacy of glacial systems. adrift opens a space for reflection on how human impact accelerates irreversible natural processes, exposing the fragility of nature, of the moment, and of life on this planet.
