 === Transition Town Nomad ===
-A [[transition town]] group that searches and manages vagrant urban zones that for some reason have been left to fallow.
+A [[transition town]] group that searches and manages vagrant urban zones that for some reason have been left to fallow, so called [[cryptoforests]] .
-We go  around by bike and we scrutinize google.earth for local crypto-forests and other potential climax vegetational rejects. see: http://socialfiction.org/?tag=ttnomad
-http://www.guerrillagardening.org/ is one inspiration with street-cred and currency but the real motivation for us is the rich field of Amazonian anthropology from classic ethnography to modern ethnobotany to future excavations of the lost garden cities of Xingu.
-Our manifesto is called "Fight the Google-Jugend", which is in art-academic peer-review right now but far from finished.
-The idea is to hook-up with the local TT people but the Nomad-principle is applicable everywhere and should appeal to a mindset that is open to less literal more psychogeographically informed interpretations of the city after the great ecological, population and resource crash.
-TT Nomad cultivates metaphors not gardens, we add selectional pressure to self-willed ecosystems no matter how small. [[forest_gardening]] is perhaps a misleading term.
-We have been reading about Colonel Fawcett's search for the City of Z in what is now Xingu Park. He went looking for a city that could not exist in the rainforest, TT Nomad goes looking for (and create) the forest that cannot exit in the city. An alternative name would be Transition Town -z (negative zee)
