Drifting box is a 40cm glass water proof cubic sculpture. It is deployed into the sea off the coast of Shenzhen, China where it floats uncontrollably, pushed by the wind and tide. Within the glass box is a solar powered tracking device which allowed its position to be followed back to the shore by a computer. Once the project was deployed, Matt was permanently disconnected from the artwork.
