Erratic Drift

An ongoing project about humans’ interrelations with the urban lithic, about architecture and geology, stones and cities.

Minty Donald and Nick Millar’s practice hinges around writing and enacting performance scores: concise and sometimes poetic instructions for actions, which are usually modest in scale, and often seemingly foolish or futile. The Erratic Drift scores are invitations to respond attentively, sensorially, and imaginatively to the stony matter of urban environments. They are intended as prompts to consider the lithic as more-than-human kin. The scores can be read or physically enacted, adapted, repeated or rejected by anyone, anywhere.

The website includes a selection of scores and related works: installation, video, writing, and performative walks.
