+==== Welcome to the Libarynth... ====
+{{ intro_img-2.png}}
+The ever-growing Libarynth is almost exactly what its name implies – a hybrid between a library and a labyrinth, a maze of pages in various stages of completion. It is a deeply intertwingled collection of documents, notes and [[randomness]] - many of which are related to [[start?do=search&id=foam|FoAM]], a network of transdisciplinary labs at the intersection of art, science, nature and everyday life.
+FoAM's collaborators, friends and sympathisers use the Libarynth as a research diary, sketchbook, or activity log. Some sections of the Libaryth are [[category_index|well structured]], others are overgrown and forgotten. Pages can be found on a variety of topics, from [[visual programming]] to [[experience_inflatables|inflatables]] or vegetarian-friendly [[restaurant guide|restaurants]] around the world, lists of [[Culture Ships]] or [[luminous/steady_state_economics|steady state economics]] or perhaps notes about [[fermentation_notes|fermentation]]. Many pages are in development, containing a few links or a couple of short notes (inviting interested [[wiki_gardening|wiki-gnomes]] to continue them). Others are more complete research reports or project descriptions. For weeks the Libarynth might be quiet, punctuated with sudden bursts of activity. It is a living archive of FoAM's interests and activities, continually changing and expanding.
+For some the Libarynth can be overwhelming, so we advise caution when first treading over its threshold. Once comfortable within the overgrown wilderness, you are very welcome to contribute: by starting new topics, editing existing pages, or making new connections into ot out of the Libarynth itself, beyond its porous edges.
