Fragile Future III: Delicate Dandelion Lights Sit at the Intersection of Nature & Technology

Look closely and you'll see that these incredible lights are actually made of real dandelions. We have no idea how <a href="http://www.designdrift.nl/" target="_blank">Studio DRIFT</a> makes them, but we're blown away by their delicate and beautiful nature. Combined with a modular visual circuit, the dandelion lights create the maze-like Fragile Future III installation, which is reminiscent of both Frank Lloyd Wright and M.C. Escher. Studio DRIFT worked in collaboration with <a href="http://cwgdesign.com/" target="_blank">Carpenter's Workshop Gallery</a> to produce these amazing installations that sit at the crossroads of nature and technology.

<a href="http://www.designdrift.nl/" target="_blank">Fragile Future III</a> "tells the story about the amalgamation of nature and technology," and how the two must work in consort in order to survive.

The linear, 3 dimensional network is both industrial and organic and while the unit is wholly constructed it speaks to how nature can collaborate with man-made objects.

This third iteration of the design (past Fragile Future I and II) is a more robust design and are easier to install and maintain.

Each modular network is a visible circuit and comes with three lights made from real dandelions.

The modules easily connect to each other allowing a number of different configurations to be made.

Studio DRIFT is currently exhibiting one of their installations a the <a href="http://www.english.imjnet.org.il/htmls/Home.aspx" target="_blank">Israel Museum</a> as part of the <a href="http://www.imj.org.il/exhibitions/presentation/exhibit.asp?id=779" target="_blank">Curious Minds Exhibit</a>.
