Erratic Drift is an ongoing project initiated by Minty Donald and Nick Millar. It hinges around an evolving collection of Fluxus-inspired performance scores: prompts to enact or imagine playful and ‘pointless’ actions with rocks, stones, concrete, silt, and other lithic materials. The actions are intended as an invitation to attend to the lithic-urban environment: intersections between architecture and geology, the timescales of cities, rocks, and people; and their movement, settlement, and transformation.
