Peculiar efforts at fungal communication have also been attempted in certain [[radio_mycelium|mycelial radio]] workshops conducted amidst the chaos of the FoAM studio.

| "Reestablishing channels of direct communication with the planetary Other, the mind behind nature, through the use of hallucinogenic plants is the best hope for dissolving the steep walls of cultural inflexibility that appear to be channeling us toward true ruin. We need a new set of lenses to see our way into the world. When the medieval world shifted its worldview, secularized European society sought salvation in the revivifying of classical Greek and Roman approaches to law, philosophy, aesthetics, city planning, and agriculture. Our dilemma will cast us further back into time in search for models and answers." -- Terence McKenna | "Reestablishing channels of direct communication with the planetary Other, the mind behind nature, through the use of hallucinogenic plants is the best hope for dissolving the steep walls of cultural inflexibility that appear to be channeling us toward true ruin.

| [[:Hildegard von Bingen]] has been canonised as the patron saint of [[:Viriditas]], and devised the unknown language of [[:Lingua Ignota]]. A whole range of [[:viridian_principles|principles]] have come to accrue around the notion of //viriditas//, including [[:viridian_design]] and [[:viridian_green|green]]. also summarised in [[:viridian_notes|these notes]]. As one of Hildegard's "most potent metaphors," writes Sarah Higley, with viriditas "she describes not only God’s natural world, but all that is spiritually creative and filled with the sap, the //sudor// of divine life" (//Hildegard of Bingen's Unknown Language//, Palgrave, 2007, p.3). | [[:Hildegard von Bingen]] has been canonised as the patron saint of [[:Viriditas]], and devised the unknown language of //[[:Lingua Ignota]].// A whole range of [[:viridian_principles|principles]] have come to accrue around the notion of //viriditas//, including [[:viridian design]] and [[:viridian_green|green]], also summarised in [[:viridian_notes|these notes]].

| |
| | Links to ideas and initiatives that span activist gardening such as seedballing and guerrilla gardening to reclaiming disused spaces in the city and indoors for productive cultivation. Whatever the scale of these forms of growing and gardening, they also incorporate various forms of cultivation techniques and principles, which are represented in this material as well. |

| | Augmented ecology encompasses everything to do with the mapping and geotagging of ecological features such as edible plants. It can be on a small scale with the objective of [[:augmented_foraging|gleaning]] and [[:augmented_foraging|foraging]] for urban food with the help of mobile apps as with [[:grazing_hermits|Boskoi]] or it can involve the long-term measurement of environmental and ecological systems on a [[:augmented_ecology|global scale]]. |

| | |
| | The wacky world of games about, by, for or with plants. Combines alternate reality games, speculative fiction, (pseudo)scientific research and instrumentology, magiK realism, mycology, invented languages, and all things in between. In plant games you can become a plant, talk to one, immerse yourself in plant time and space, or explore various technologies for plant communication. |
