In 2015, artists installed a grand-scale kinetic sculpture named "In 20 Steps" at Berengo Foundation’s Centre for Contemporary Art and Glass during Art Biennale in Venice. This art object was re-created in 2018 for the Abu Dhabi Edition hotel. In 2017, Studio Drift presented two projects in the US: in March they displayed a giant levitating concrete cube during the Armory Show in New York and in December launched 300 drones to form a flying light sculpture named "Franchise Freedom" during Art Basel Miami. "Franchise Freedom" was an evolution of their earlier "Flylight" project. This project won THE DESIGN PRIZE (established by Designboom and Abitare magazine) and was nominated for the Beazley Designs of the Year 2018 award. In April 2018, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam hosted the first solo exhibition of Studio Drift projects. In 2019, newly opened art museum Amos Rex hosted their second solo exhibition and their works were shown during the Venice Art Biennale in the exhibition Dysfunctional. In 2019, DRIFT won the Dezeen Awards for ‘Designer of the Year’ and ‘Lighting design of the year’ with the artwork Franchise Freedom. Later during the year, DRIFT had their operatic debut. DRIFT artist Lonneke Gordijn - together with director Monique Wagemakers and Choreographer Nanine Linning - deconstructs the traditional codes of opera through the creation of Ego. Ego is a time-based kinetic sculpture in the signature block form of the art studio. Initially, the sculpture was created to materialize the internal turmoil of Orfeo, the protagonist of the famous opera, on the stage. In March 2020, Ego had its debut off-stage at PACE Gallery in New York. On 5th of May 2020, during the Liberation Day in the Netherlands, a special performance of Franchise Freedom flew over the city of Rotterdam. The artist duo prepared the special custom show to celebrate freedom during the Corona virus crisis.
