-[[https://fo.am/|FoAM]] is a distributed network working across art, science, nature and everyday life. Guided by the imperative grow your own worlds,  we encourage things to grow — creating immersive situations, participatory workshops, experimental publications, site-specific experiences and experiential scenarios. Since FoAM's inception we have been 'growing worlds' in the interstices of different fields of knowledge, geography and worldviews. In a time of hardened borders and travel restrictions, we temporarily turned inwards; [[https://fo.am/anarchive/|reaching back into FoAM's archives]] with an eye to what might be of use to us and others, while seeking new resonances and connections with things happening elsewhere. +[[https://fo.am/|FoAM]] is a distributed network working across art, science, nature and everyday life.

-Delving through 20 years of texts, images and other media, scattered across backups, bookshelves, websites, servers and a sprawling wiki, we've uncovered, rediscovered and discarded many things along the way. Theories, practices, ideas and techniques to proactively engage with a changing world. So here are five 'things' we have been thinking about, in some form or another, recently; five glimpses of our current preoccupations. The 'things' include fragments from our archives, along with resonant examples of current work by others, gathered around five areas of concern — hospitality, uncertainty, technology, ecology and transience. +Delving through 20 years of texts, images and other media, scattered across backups, bookshelves, websites, servers and a sprawling wiki, we've uncovered, rediscovered and discarded many things along the way.

They might inhabit the radio spectrum or create divergencies across the spectrum of acceptable behaviours. Spectral stories, stories of cosmic spectra and planetary spectres.
