Dutch collective DRIFT, comprised of artists Ralph Nauta and Lonneke Gordijm, have recently teamed up with Avant Arte to launch a new light sculpture edition titled ANOTHER FUTURE. The duo is known for creating groundbreaking installations that draw inspiration from the natural world.

The luminous piece was inspired by the “extraordinary architecture” of the dandelion. It actually carries inside real dandelion seeds that the artists handpicked and reconstructed them around an LED bulb, creating 9 “dandelights” in total. The work is connected via a USB-C cable and features a location-specific plug.

“After 15 years of studying dandelions, I saw so much cleverness in this plant, that doesn’t have a central brain. There is so much tactility. Somehow this plant feels its environment and is aware of it, in a completely different way than how humans and animals think. I could talk for hours about dandelions,” said Gordijn in a statement. Nauta added: “Nature is our past, present and future. Technology is an extension of Nature and should only be used to connect humanity to Nature, not to disconnect.”

You can purchase ANOTHER FUTURE on Avant Arte’s website starting from September 2 for €4,600 EUR (approx. $5,477 USD). It launches in an edition of 50 pieces.
