Together with the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Lacoste, Dutch art duo DRIFT unveil Unfold, a newly commissioned multisensory AI experience. The immersive installation debuted during the SCAD Lacoste Spring 2025 season opening celebration on Wednesday, May 7, and is now open to the public.
Inspired by the local flora of the Provence region, Unfold transforms the body’s rhythmic data into a unique audio-visual experience. As visitors enter the space, their biometrics are measured in real-time and translated through AI technology into dynamic visuals. The fusion of biological, ecological, and digital design creates infinite variations, with each spatial interaction serving as a reflection of the individual in that precise moment. Viewers are guided through these personalized visualizations and accompanying audio score into an altered state of sensory alignment, where the pulse of life manifests through the ephemeral beauty of the botanical world, inviting us to delve deeper into the symbiotic dance between nature and the human form.
Talking about the collaboration, Daniel S. Palmer, SCAD Museum of Art Chief Curator said: “We are honored to inaugurate DRIFT’s new site-specific installation Unfold at our historic SCAD Lacoste location. This collaboration is the thoughtful product of the artists’ dialogue with the region and the creative, growth-focused ethos of the university, which the artists have translated into a breathtaking and memorable immersive experience. We are certain that this one-of-a-kind installation will inspire our students and visitors to SCAD Lacoste for years to come.”
