-Dust and shadow is FoAM's contribution to a transdisciplinary research and residency programme at the ASU (Arizona State University), exploring environmental issues specific to the desert of the North-American Southwest. We combine philosophical inquiry with speculative design and action research to explore divergent approaches to desertification (both ecological and cultural), zombie-utopias, panpsychism, beyond-human relationships and probabilistic future preparedness+Dust and Shadow is FoAM's contribution to a transdisciplinary research and residency programme at the ASU (Arizona State University) focused on environmental issues specific to the North-American Southwest. We combine philosophical inquiry with experiential futures and technological arts to explore existing and potential relationships between people and the desert. We start from a hypothesis that in order to mitigate the effects of climate change (and other environmental uncertaintiesfundamental lifestyle adaptations are needed. Changing light-bulbs or driving electric cars is a startbut technological fixes alone can't diminish the complex systemic challenges. The emotional and cultural dimension of prevalent worldviews must be re-examined too. The dimension of myths and counter-myths underlying current and emerging lifestyles. By addressing the mythical underpinnings of contemporary life in the desert, we invite emotional engagement with abstract concepts, such as desertification, panpsychism or attunement. We design participatory experiences and experimental publicationsas evocative propositions for re-alignment of urban and desert ecosystems
