Each Drifter is a mobile technological sculpture consisting of a helium balloon raising up and lit by an internal LED, tethered by its own power cables to a battery pack dragging along the ground. Thus it has two complementary components with opposing aesthetics: the elegant balloon - the 'flower', and the utilitarian almost visceral battery pack - the 'roots'. One is trying to lift up, to be free, the other is anchored in the practicalities of its existence. In this way together they reflect our conflicting drives. How is the drifter affected by the wind? Or the terrain on which it tracks? And what would we do when we encounter them?
