Drift of the Uncharted features a quadruped robot carrying a projector that casts a submerged urban landscape into a darkened space, simulating a future transformed by rising sea levels. As it moves, the robot controls the virtual camera, guiding viewers through a speculative flooded world. Merging physical and digital realms, the work combines climate data, real-world scans, and CGI seawater to immerse audiences in the potential realities of climate change.
