On these pages you can find the reflections, memories and working notes of the Resilients, people who imagine possible futures and prototype them as artistic experiments in living and working environments. We explore emergent lifestyles, cultural travel, and cultivation of food and energy through the lens of resilience – creative practices that we believe are necessary to thrive in uncertain, turbulent times. We transform the concept of resilience into concrete practice through the design of experimental social structures and situations, stress-testing them in real-life labs – our case studies in possible futures.

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.
