| Dust and Shadow is FoAM's contribution to a transdisciplinary research and residency programme at the ASU (Arizona State University), exploring environmental issues specific to the desert of the North-American Southwest. We combine philosophical inquiry with experiential futures and technological arts to explore existing and potential relationships between people and the desert. We start from a hypothesis that in order to mitigate the effects of climate change (and other environmental uncertainties) fundamental lifestyle adaptations are needed. We examine and re-imagine the worldviews, myths and archetypes underlying contemporary lifestyles. By addressing the mythical and emotional dimension of sustainability, we aim to re-align urban experience with the unpredictable reality of the desert. | Dust and Shadow is FoAM's contribution to a transdisciplinary research and residency programme at the ASU (Arizona State University) focused on environmental issues specific to the North-American Southwest.

We investigate and re-imagine myths and archetypes underlying contemporary lifestyles and worldviews. By addressing the mythical and emotional dimension of contemporary life in the desert, we design artistic experiments as propositions for re-attunement of urban experiences and desert ecosystems. |
