-===Introduction===+This part of the libarynth was first created as a place to document part of my [[michka:transiency-main-page|transiency]] research in 2013-2014.
  
-am currently benefiting from the [[http://fo.am/macrotransiencies/|Transiency Program]] offered by FoAMThe Transiency program is designed to help creative people perform a transition in their personal and/or professional lifeAs a 25-year-old, (almostfresh out of the school, why would I like to already perform a transition There are actually some reasons.+More recently, used it to: 
 +   * document the project we performed with [[http://zprod.org|Paul Granjon]] on [[michka:research:microbial_fuel_cells|microbial-fuel-cell-powered robotics]]. 
 +   * document the two art-science workshops I lead at the Ecole Supérieure d'Arts d'Epinal (ESAL) on [[michka:phenomenes|phenomenes]] and [[michka:sable|sand]]. 
 +   * list resources on [[michka:alternative-engineering|alternative engineering]]initially for students from the "Humanities and technology" bachelor in Université Technologique de Compiègne (UTC)
 +   * other partially structured information : you can check the full list of pages of this namespace [[https://libarynth.org/?idx=michka|here]].
  
-I have been involved in [[http://www.linkedin.com/pub/michka-mélo/43/877/169/|scientific/technical/engineering studies work for seven years]]. Together with some moment of [[http://www.lapaillasse.org/news/1309/diy-bio-based-electronics-prime-a-la-maker-faire-rome|intense satisfaction]], I also noticed a scary underlying long-term imabalance I would like to adress. This imbalance seems to come mainly from an extreme proportion of indoors mind-centered theoretical tasks. I would like to spend more time outdoors. I would like to have my body exercised through my work. And finally, I would like to get my hands dirty and learn practical down-to-earth know-hows. +You can also register to my aperiodic newsletter [[https://us20.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=680472e676559bd625aae5902&id=77460e00a3|here]], or check [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/michka-m%C3%A9lo-16987743/|my LinkedIn profile]], [[https://www.facebook.com/michka.melo|Facebook profile]] or [[https://twitter.com/elaborateur|Twitter feed]].

-I benefited from an excellent training in [[http://www.epfl.ch|a very pleasant engineering school]]. However, I notice that I do not know how to fulfill my basic needs otherwise than by buying stuff. I don't know how to grow my own food. I don't know how to make or repair my own clothes. I don't know how to take care of my health in a preventive way, for instance, by enliving my body as much as my thoughts.  +
- +
-This is for the personal level. +
- +
-On the intepersonal level, I live quite uncomfortably since I understood how every single action I was performing during the day was oppressing other people somewhere else.  +
- +
-Turning the heat on means extracting more oil, while global warming kills more and more people through Tropical storms, or while [[http://www.bastamag.net/Gaz-de-schiste-sur-les-barricades|Romanian are beaten up and put into jail as they try to defend their homeland from well drilling oil companies]].  +
- +
-Buying a computer means [[http://www.bastamag.net/Quand-Apple-ou-Nokia-ne-savent-pas|destroying essential ecosystems and polluting heavily groundwaters local populations are drinking]]. Is it possible, nowadays, to have a decent life without severely harming anyone ?  +
- +
-I guess self-sufficiencyand [[http://www.tedresearch.net/teds-ten/|designing to reduce the need to consume are part of the answer]]. Which happily connects with the personal level desire for more outdoors body-involving practical activities. Perfect.  +
- +
-Let's get started ! +

-//[[http://fo.am/macrotransiency-michka-melo/|Here are]] some more insights on my motivations and objectives within this program.// +
