Ocular Drift is a composed landscape filled with dizzying moiré patterns
(UK: /ˈmwɑːreɪ/ MWAH-ray, US: /mwɑːˈreɪ/ mwah-RAY).
A subtle choreography of movement in the fabric causes the patterns to shift continuously, floating and flickering like a hypernumb cloud. As you move through the space, the patterns appear to follow, mirroring your gaze and echoing each step you take. Yet even when you stand still, the work continues to drift, guided by its own quiet, autonomous rhythm. From a distance, it hovers like a hyperobject, fluid and untouchable.
Up close, it pulls you in, as if your vision is loosening and your body is fading into a place where gravity, time, and focus begin to warp. At the same time, the construction of the installation reveals itself, exposing the contradiction between the phenomenon and its inner mechanism.
