+ | === Retreat === | ||
+ | Media ecologies is a retreat organised by three organisations: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The workshop designed as a master class where everyone is considered both an expert and a participant. There are no designated workshop ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | === Workshop question and sub-topics === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The overall question for the workshop as a whole is: | ||
+ | ** "How do we develop an imaginary of technology, in which biological, cultural, mechanical or electronic systems interact?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Following from this question, FoAM will focus on ** "what and how we can learn from nature to design more resilient and responsive cultural, poetic and technological systems?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | === Structure === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The workshop will take place from the 21st to the 25th of April, from 10 - 6pm. The evenings are left open for socialising and informal presentations. The workshop will be facilitated as an 'open space' (http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | === How to prepare === | ||
+ | |||
+ | We would like everyone to think about the workshop questions and different ways in which we could try to answer them as a group. What is it that you can contribute to these issues? Is there anything that you feel particularly stongly about? Is there something that needs urgent attention? Or somethings that requires a slow, but fundamental change? Think about what you want to address, but also how it could be addressed. How would you engage others - should you talk, walk, make, play, or...? | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are not familiar with the Open Space methodology, | ||
+ | |||
+ | _NOTE_: If you are planning to organise a session that requires particular materials and/or equipment, please let us know by Thursday 17th of April at the latest. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === What to bring === | ||
+ | |||
+ | - towel & miscellaneous toiletries (bed covers and sheets are provided) | ||
+ | - any special food and/or drinks that you'd like to share with others | ||
+ | - texts, movies, images, or music related to the topics of the workshop | ||
+ | - materials related to your work in/near the field of 'media ecologies' | ||
+ | - if you need it, medication for hay-fever and/or other allergies, as we will be in a rural environment. | ||
+ | - sunscreen (which we'll hopefully need!) | ||
+ | - comfortable, | ||
+ | - yourself, your inspirations, | ||
+ | - & anything else you think would be appropriate... | ||

+ | Nastic movements are plant movements that occur in response to environmental stimuli but unlike tropic movements, the direction of the response is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus. Some of the most spectacular plant movements are nastic movements. These include the closing of the carnivorous Venus Flytrap leaf when it captures prey or the folding of the mimosa leaf when it is disturbed. | ||
