dérive (verb)<br />

to float, drift, drifting (from the French)<br />

it is similiar to the Letterist term détourement<br />

(a subversive act) <strong>and</strong> is key in the<br />

construction of situations, or moments of<br />

rupture with everyday life<br />

“a technique of rapid passage through<br />

various ambiances [...] involves playfulconstructive<br />

behaviour <strong>and</strong> an awareness of<br />

psychogeographical effects...”<br />

[quote] “Theory of the Derive” by Guy Debord published in 1958 in<br />
