-Since the end of August we’re primarily focused on developing FoAM Earth, the new nomadic FoAM studio with its legal entity based in Estonia. Aside from all the practical details of starting a new company (setting up the financial management tools, bank-accounts, liability insurance, etc.), we are beginning to delve into our 'triangle' research (which is currently called ∆[∆], but doesn’t have a pronounceable name yet). We’re currently working on framing the global research on the interstices between uncertainty, experience and panpsychism and a series of its trans-local instantiations. We're reading (e.g. [[:/humankind_notes|Human Kind]] by Morton, Process and Reality by Whitehead, [[http://www.e-flux.com/journal/36/61245/reclaiming-animism/|Reclaiming Animism]] by Stengers, Romantic Machine by Tresch, etc.) and writing, conducting speculative thought experiments and enjoying the fact that there is no externally imposed deadline for this work (definitely a new beginning!)

 For now, there are a few concrete things linked with the ∆[∆] research on our horizon:

    * Unfortunately, Amélie will be giving a French lesson at the time of the call, and Michka will be defending a bio-inspired design project with his designer colleagues in front of a big French client in Paris. We will sadly not be able to attend this call, however...
-   * We hope that you all had a great summer. It was great to catch up with those of you who were at the Apero on Saturday.

    * Our FoAM related next steps for the next few months are :
      * A possible move to Lausanne before January, either to become the Biomimicry teaching coordinator at EPFL (plan A, job opening still to be confirmed by the end of September) or to design the first Mars public park (plan B, in negociation).
