==== Themes, stories, worlds ====

As a way of structuring the [[grow_your_own_worlds|Grow Your Own Worlds]] publication, we have organised its themes and content into several “worlds” that broadly represent our foci of interest and possibly the shape of the book’s “chapters”. 

Overall atmosphere: [[https://www.pinterest.com/deziluzija/the-exquisite-and-the-liminal/|The exquisite and the liminal]]


===W1: Transient reality===

... where we talk about FoAM's experiments with immersive, responsive, transmedia environments, and our explorations of the edges between the digital and the physical worlds

sub world (one of the more accessible ways to enter into groWorld:

==Towards Luminous Green==

... in which we look at FoAM's environmental worldviews; combining culture, technology and sustainability; electricity with greenness; augmentation with foraging

===W4: Thriving in uncertainty===

... balancing on the edges of fiction and reality, futurology and fortunetelling, delving deep into FoAM's explorations of speculative culture, looking at what emerges when we dare ask "what if?" and prototype the answers as artistic experiments and daily rituals; here we also explore several perspectives on surviving and thriving in turbulent times, and ask what cultural resilience might be like, today and in the future

===W6: Hosting Culture===

... where we talk about the foundation of a FoAM culture that is based on hosting and nurturing its collaborators and participants through intergenerational residencies and transiencies, coaching, mentoring and even matchmaking

and a sub-world:

== Grow your own ==
... aside from being a well-known creed in the countercultural movement, Grow Your Own is a philosophy that we apply across different disciplines, through hands-on workshops and co-creation sessions. In the book we look back at the people, stories and methods we developed to encourage participatory learning and open knowledge sharing

===W7: Institutional Hacking===

... where we talk about the nuts and bolts of experimenting with an organisation as an artform, FoAM as an extended clan blurring the boundaries between life and work, and the many pros and cons that we experienced in the flesh during this process

===Affordable Mysticism=== 

Note: this is more of a background radiation than an actual world - it is suffused in all the other worlds

... is the small niche of all things meta and pata, the esoteric, mystical and spiritual dimensions that though often occulted, are like dark matter interspersed as background radiation behind everything we do

  * Data, metadata, pata- and para-data
  * synaesthetic, ritualistic, ecstatic, mystical, and communal dimensions of sonification/music
  * syncretic religious movements/practices, including [[http://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Hyper-Real_Religion_Fiction-Based_Religion|hyper-real religions]]

=== Who's who ===

this is a family album of FoAM's worldbuilders

... where we talk about and hear from FoAM's extended family, the various people involved, devolved and in partial orbit or comet-rendezvous flyby. We want to surface the manifold links between people, places, projects and studios in FoAM's family and friends, as well as to find out what happened to the many individuals who worked with us as emerging artists, scientists and other generalists with whom we share(d) many things but have subsequently lost touch through temporal, spatial or philosophical distance...
