As a way of structuring the 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: The exquisite and the liminal

… 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

In the book we look back at the people, stories and methods we developed to encourage participatory learning and open knowledge sharing * http://fo.am/splinterfields/ * http://fo.am/xmedk/ * http://lib.fo.am/inleiding_in_wereldgroeien flickr * foam:f15=6 ===FoAM Food=== … is one of the pillars of our transdisciplinary culture; in this world we reveal the secrets of FoAM's experimental kitchen and include recipes and menus from some of our most beloved meals * http://fo.am/open_sauces/ * http://fo.am/froth/ * Smoke & Vapour flickr * foam:f15=7 ===Hosting Craft=== … 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 * http://fo.am/residencies/ * http://fo.am/services/ * Grenzen als connector flickr * foam:f15=8 ===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 * http://lib.fo.am/future_of_the_lab * FoAM Manual * Growing Stories within stories: http://fo.am/growing_stories_within_stories/ flickr * foam:f15=9 ===Affordable Mysticism=== … 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 hyper-real religions flickr * foam:f15=10 === Who's who === … 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… * http://fo.am/people/ flickr * foam:f15=11 === Various historica === * foam dvd * uscb lecture
