 OKNO will bring it's wireless routers to craft a local wireless network extended to serve as an artistic medium. FoAM will undertake hands-on experiments with simulated biological systems, experiments which will be extended along with ad-hoc discussions regarding complexity, whole-systems, patterns, biomorphism and biomimetics in physical and simulated lifeforms and ecosystems. Participants are also invited to contribute to collaborative projects, developed throughout the week, guided by Nadine. OKNO will bring it's wireless routers to craft a local wireless network extended to serve as an artistic medium.

-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://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/wiki.cgi?AboutOpenSpace), also known to some by it use in 'bar camp' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_camp). This means that we will not design a schedule beforehand, but instead rely on each of you to propose sessions around themes that _you_ care about. Each morning we will have one or two theoretical presentations, that will provide a context and a framework for other sessions. The afternoons are designated for hands-on experiments, discussions, expeditions, games and other participatory sessions that can further the   main workshop question and/or subtopics. These sessions can take anywhere from 1/2 hour to 4 hours.+The workshop will take place from the 21st to the 25th of April, from 10 - 6pm.

 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...? We would like everyone to think about the workshop questions and different ways in which we could try to answer them as a group.
