adrift is an audiovisual installation by media artist Sasha Kojjio and creative producer Alisa Davydova, driven by a custom generative algorithm simulating the melting of glaciers.

The work visualizes the fragility and inevitability of natural processes.

The viewer is immersed in a meditative experience — observing the glacier slowly disintegrate from different perspectives. Each iteration generates unique patterns of drifting ice fragments, inviting reflection on how human influence accelerates irreversible natural changes and how fragile our world truly is.

Through the custom algorithm, every pixel becomes a drifting particle — cracking, dissolving, and disappearing as the glaciers vanish piece by piece. The soundtrack, built around Philip Glass’s Two Pages, hypnotizes through repetition, dissolving the sense of time until only silent observation remains.

adrift is exhibited on a monumental 10.5×3.5m LED screen as part of the exhibition Digital Hopes at the International Ecological Biennale, from May 17 to August 10, 2025.
