- | 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 hypothesise that in order to mitigate the effects of climate change (and other environmental uncertainties) fundamental lifestyle adaptations are needed. Changing light-bulbs or driving electric cars can be a start, but technological fixes alone can't tackle the complex systemic challenges in the region. The substrata that give rise to prevalent worldviews must be re-examined too, the 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, | + | 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.
