Thematics

🛠

These five thematic journeys provide signposts amid diverse contents on this website, from the conviviality of the dinner table to the turbulent uncertainties of our current times.

Machine Wilderness - ARTIS

🛠

An artist-in-residency programme at ARTIS Royal Zoo in Amsterdam, exploring how human technologies can act as bridges to animal and plant worlds. Could our technologies be technologies of environmental empathy, kinship and solidarity?

Anarchive

🛠

The Anarchive looks at FoAM’s multi-decade existence from different vantage points, to unearth or revisit things that can have generative potential for the here-and-now and the yet-to-come.

Resonances

🛠

Resonances is a series of sonic propositions. Listening to the sounds of the Earth unfolding at different timescales. Attuning to matter in its myriad forms and flows. Paying attention to a multitude of voices, omnipresent but often too quiet to notice amidst the noise of human activity.

Institute for Experiments with Business

🛠

The Institute for Experiments with Business (Ibex) is an emergent research entity, situated within the FoAM network. Its interest is to collect, conduct and report on experiments in and with business, including new and wild takes on organisational staples such as budgets, contracts, organisational form, business coaching and the business plan.

Approaching the Inexplicable
