 //There is a growing sense at FoAM and in wider social contexts we operate in that the way we work today is not sustainable in the long run. There are therefore many future scenarios about the future of work. What would happen if we would turn "the future of work" on its head and looked at the negative spaces in between - how will we NOT work in the future? Or to frame it more positively: what is the future of doing nothing? To explore this question FoAM is organising a scenario workshop and a long-form pre-enactment, to try out what it might be like to experience a range of situations that would allow us to get better at doing nothing, already today. From October 2014 to January 2015 FoAM will puncture their working hours, days, weeks and months with pre-enacting doing nothing in a range of possible futures.//  //There is a growing sense at FoAM and in wider social contexts we operate in that the way we work today is not sustainable in the long run.

 We invite dedicated practitioners and enthusiasts - people who are willing to challenge and change unsustainable work-culture - to spend two days probing the past, present and future of idleness. We want to find out about existing and emerging ideas, practices and philosophies that can guide us through what could be the futures of doing nothing. In a co-creative process we will design a range of scenarios and translate them into experience prototypes or "pre-enactments" that can be integrated in the participants’ daily life.   We invite dedicated practitioners and enthusiasts - people who are willing to challenge and change unsustainable work-culture - to spend two days probing the past, present and future of idleness.
