In the words of Guy Debord, a drift is a journey through a town or city in which a person would “drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there” (Govan, 2007, p. 141). That is exactly the case for the drifts that we as a class underwent. By allowing ourselves to become a blank canvas for the environment around us to paint, we discovered more about the routes we take on our daily routines.
Below is a video-presentation introducing how to start your own drift and some of the discoveries I made on my most recent drift.

I invite anyone to tell of the discoveries they made on a drift or indeed to post their own video presentations below.
