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.

The swordfish however were given a shrine at a surprisingly delicious sushi restaurant.

Walls of the Owens Thomas house 18-24in thick, keeping the interior largely intact during mythical creature wars. Note crack in amberglass.

The Davenport house features elaborate handpainted faux finish and wallpapers to deter creatures. Green paint in dining rm drives off bugs.

But it was likely the gun by the door that kept the wolves at bay. #impromptuSavannahDerive

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

Today only the alligators remember the rest, but despite the lemonade, they’re not talking.

What do you think?

  1. Interesting little motif you’ve constructed… I can imagine a little post-frame photo with the caption “And little did the deer know that the stream they were drinking from was infested with the alligators, still ‘sour’ from their previous escapades…”
