July 19, 2010

This post is the first in a three part mini-series on digital dérive, an idea I have been playing with lately.

This particular dérive first appeared in my twitter stream in February, but this is the first time I have published it all together in one place.

For another example, see: Dérive Does Dallas: Fair Park Edition.

Andrew Low preferred feet of his furniture carved into the shape of a beehive rather than the paw motif.
