Media Files====Know-Hows==== Here is the documentation of making experiments I performed during my Transiency. Making seems to be a performance-enhancing activity complementary to mind-centered work. Increasing the amount of making activities in my schedule is therefore part of my research towards Self-Sufficiency as well as my research towards a more efficient and pleasant [[michka:daily_schedule_scheme|Daily Schedule Scheme]]. ===Bioproductive Balcony=== Self-sufficiency starts with one of our most basic needs: Food. I will therefore try to learn the basic of gardening this year. FoAM gave me their balcony as an experimental space for an urban vertical garden. I will try to make the most of this space, including the valorisation of some of these byproducts for non-alimentary activities. [[michka:know-hows/bioproductive_balcony|Here]] is the page dedicated to this experiment. ===Recipes=== ==Lunches== [[:michka/know-hows/vegetable_curry_with_rice|Vegetable curry with rice]] [[:michka/know-hows/sweet_and_sour_vegetables_with_semolina|Sweet and Sour Vegetables with Semolina]] [[:michka/know-hows/calliflower_carrots_parsnip_curry_with_rice|Calliflower, Carrots and Parsnip Curry with Rice]] ==Other experiments== I prepared [[:michka/know-hows/tomatillo_chutney|Tomatillo's chutney]] out of green tomatillos which were kindly offered to me by [[http://opengreens.okno.be/person.php?id=85|Annemie]] after a day spent working in her [[http://annemariemaes.net/research/urban-corridors/urban-artfarm-2012/|rooftop garden]]. Being an absolute fan of [[:michka/cramique|cramique]], the famous raisins-containing Belgian brioche, I decided I would try to cook it myself. ===Making objects=== ==Obtaining Raw Materials== Everytime I walk through Brussels, I stumble on hundreds of kilos of not-that-waste materials. Rather than buying new materials, I will try to make the most of this existing resource to make objects. However, matching what you need with what you find needs a little bit of strategy. I will therefore document here my [[:michka:know_hows:urban_foraging|Urban Foraging]] experiments and good practices. An abundant urban waste-resource material is wood, mainly in the shape of pallets. Here is what I learned during my two first [[:michka/know-hows/pallet_dismantling|pallet dismantling]] experiments. ==A few objects== Make [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zd-Uc5Kgco|Origami envelopes]]. Only old paper is needed, no glue. I use them to pack up seeds for the bioproductive balcony, or to exchange them through [[htpp://www.grainesdetroc.fr|Graines de troc]] and [[http://www.plantcatching.com|Plant Catching]].Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
