Laboratory for the propagation of lived and living experience. We are looking for processes, moments and situations in which experience can be freed from cultural, economic or historical biases, allowing participants to absorb fresh stimuli. FoAM's collaborators spend most of their time in the murky spaces between the physical and digital, scientific and artistic, natural and technological worlds. We inhabit these spaces to research and develop responsive environments, active materials, generative media, culinary performances and other entangled forms of contemporary creative expression. Guided by our motto "grow your own worlds", we work in colourful teams, scavenging far and wide for relevant scientific, technological and social innovations, fusing them into seeds for imaginary, yet tangible worlds and planting them in the cracks of everyday life.

FoAM is a transdisciplinary network working across art, science, nature and everyday life.

"Guided by the imperative grow your own worlds we create conditions, build tools, and facilitate the processes that encourage things to grow. We grow our own, cultivating minds, environments, organisations, collaborative techniques and governance structures. We grow worlds — immersive situations, participatory workshops, gameworlds, site-specific experiences and experiential scenarios. These worlds are situated in complex cultures and distinctive habitats, bound by physics and history, and populated with human and non-human characters. Together, we cultivate an ecology of practices to grapple with the intricate tangle of realities, from the convoluted legacies of the past, to the turbulent complexity of the present, and possible adjacent futures."
