-[note from maja: i know i've expanded this too much, so it needs re-compacting and probably renaming. i also wonder how much of it needs to be a part of the pitch, and whether we could just include a link to the descriptions of the worlds?]
+As a way of structuring the [[grow_your_own_worlds|Grow Your Own Worlds]] publication, we have organised its themes and content into several “worlds” that broadly represent our foci of interest and possibly the shape of the book’s “chapters”.
-As a way of structuring the publication, we organise its themes and content into several “worlds” that broadly represent our foci of interest and serve, loosely, as the book’s “chapters”. These might be:
+Overall atmosphere: [[https://www.pinterest.com/deziluzija/the-exquisite-and-the-liminal/|The exquisite and the liminal]]
-  * __On Reality Generation__, where we talk about FoAM's experiments with immersive, responsive, transmedia environments, and our explorations of the edges between the digital and the physical worlds (e.g. The *t-series: http://fo.am/t-series/)
-  * __Behind the Algorithms__, in which we trace a path through computational worlds, beginning with Glitch Art and generative media, through to live coding, tangible media, mini-games and augmented reality apps. (e.g. http://fo.am/digital_art_and_the_glitch/ http://fo.am/kernow/ and http://fo.am/lyta/)
+===Reality Generation===
-  *  __On Human-Plant Interaction__, where we investigate the many possible relationships between plants and humans, including urban gardening, citizen science plant games, speculative experiments with human-plant communication and a reintroduction of seasonal rituals (e.g. http://fo.am/groworld/)
+... where we talk about FoAM's experiments with immersive, responsive, transmedia environments, and our explorations of the edges between the digital and the physical worlds
-  * __Towards Luminous Green__, in which we look at FoAM's environmental and technosocial worldviews; combining technology and sustainability; electricity with green; augmentation with foraging (e.g. http://fo.am/luminous_green/, http://fo.am/boskoi/, http://fo.am/farm-crap-app/)

-  * __Alternate Realities and Possible Futures__, balancing on the edges of fiction and reality, futurology and fortunetelling, delving deep into FoAM's explorations of speculative culture, looking at what emerges when we dare ask "what if?" and prototype the answers as artistic experiments and daily rituals; here we also explore several perspectives on surviving and thriving in turbulent times, and ask what cultural resilience might be like, today and in the future (e.g. http://fo.am/future-fabulators/, http://fo.am/borrowed-scenery/, http://fo.am/resilients/)

+===Behind the Algorithms===
-  * __Grow your own__. Aside from being a well-known creed in the countercultural movement, Grow Your Own is a philosophy that we apply across different disciplines, through hands-on workshops and co-creation sessions. In the book we look back at the people, stories and methods we developed to encourage participatory learning and open knowledge sharing (e.g. http://fo.am/splinterfields/ and http://fo.am/xmedk/)
+... in which we trace a path through computational worlds, beginning with glitch art and generative media through to live coding, and tangible programming
-  * __FoAM Food__ is one of the pillars of our transdisciplinary culture. In this chapter we reveal the secrets of FoAM's experimental kitchen and include recipes and menus from some of our most beloved meals (e.g. http://fo.am/open_sauces/ and http://fo.am/froth/)
-  * __Hosting Craft__, where we talk about the foundation of a FoAM culture, based on hosting and nurturing its collaborators and participants, in intergenerational residencies and transiencies, coaching, mentoring and even matchmaking (e.g. http://fo.am/residencies/ and http://fo.am/services/)

+  * Improvements in a subsequent release: http://lib.fo.am/improvements_in_a_subsequent_release
-  * __The Dandyist Parade__, where we disclose our love for costumed parties, pre-enactments and role-playing games; a chapter that might include some anarcho-dandyist guidelines and even patterns for "crocheting your own" (e.g. http://fo.am/grig/ http://fo.am/opening-electrified/ or http://fo.am/resilients-flotilla/)

+  * Betablocker: http://fo.am/betablocker/
+  * Scheme bricks: http://fo.am/scheme-bricks/
-  * __Institutional Hacking__, where we talk about the nuts and bolts of experimenting with an organisation as an artform, about FoAM as an extended clan blurring the boundaries between life and work, and discuss the many pros and cons that we experienced in the flesh during this process (e.g. http://lib.fo.am/future_of_the_lab, FoAM Manual)
