Media Files==== Future preparedness ==== "The future will always be more messy than we imagine." -- Jamais Cascio Future Preparedness explores how to prototype a range of possible futures and experience them as real, physical situations. By immersing ourselves in these future "prehearsals" or "pre-enactments" we cultivate mindsets and behaviours that can help us adapt to diverse and unpredictable futures. This case study builds on futurist scenario planning and ancient meditation practices, as well as age-old sideshows, anachronistic re-enactments and contemporary disaster drills. We sketch our future lives as improvised, participatory experiences and test them in a number of near future scenarios. <html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/8455442570/" title="resilients-timesplash by _foam, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8455442570_9c5229b1aa_b.jpg" width="699" height="364" alt="resilients-timesplash"></a></html> The Resilients and their activities informing the Future Preparedness case study: * [[future_prehearsals|Experiments for Home Futurists]]: FoAM's fieldwork on scenario planning and future prehearsals * [[artists_in_transience|Transiency of a Contemporary Journeyman]]: Dougald Hine on a quest for resilience as the Resilients' "artist in transience" * [[transgenerational_residency]]: The Simpsons (Mark, Leah, Scarlet and Delilah) as a "Family in Residence" where FoAM in Brussels transforms from a cultural laboratory to a 21st century clan, celebrating the first [[http://fo.am/rbd/|Rocket Boat Day]] * Collective Introspection in [[naikan|the Naikan Retreat]]: Helga Hartl assisted by Christina Stadlbauer conduct a silent retreat at the FoAM studio, investigating the effect of the [[naikan]] practice on collaboration and communication in the working environment * Science, crafts and emerging technologies in [[:mathematickal_arts_2011|Mathematickal Arts Workshop]]: Carole Collet and Tim Boykett bring together disparate disciplines - mathematics, textile design and tangible programming - to explore whether borrowing from each other's fields can increase their resilience. * [[resilients_salons]]: a series of conversations about topics related to cultural resilience * [[debrouillardise_et_coquetterie|Resilients Apprentice]]: Anthropologist Coralie Stalberg's in a creative apprenticeship investigating the resilience of re-use and repair techniques in war-time clothing. === Instructions, reviews and overviews === * [[scenario symphony]] * [[temporal model]] * [[From Pan to Panarchy]] Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
