On these pages you can find reflections, memories and working notes of a group of Resilients, people who imagine possible futures and prototype them as artistic experiments in living and working environments. Resilients explore questions about emerging lifestyles, creative expressions, cultural travel, cultivation of food and energy, through the lens of 'resilience'. The rather abstract concept of resilience is dissected through a range of heuristic approaches, including designing experimental situations and social structures, then testing them out in real-life labs called 'case studies':

Control of the Commons explores the culture of water use by travelling on vessels constructed from recycled and locally sourced materials. Augmented Urban Gardens are experimental grounds for cultivation of plants (and their eco-systems), on a fertile bed of arts and technology.The Pollinators re-imagine pilgrimage as an itinerant artistic laboratory, connecting people and places they travel through. Unmanned Resilience develops tactical technology (such as the UAVs, land and weather monitoring systems) and deploys it in techno-artistic survival camps and foraging expeditions. Edible Crafts examines resilience of material eco-systems of a dinner table, focusing on two ingredients: aronia and linen. Finally, the Future Preparedness case study combines futurism, improvisation and meditation to experience life in a whole range of possible futures.
