Media Files==== Future preparedness ==== "The future will always be more messy than we imagine." -- Jamais Cascio Future Preparedness explores how to prototype a range of possible futures and experience them as real, physical situations. By immersing ourselves in these future "prehearsals" or "pre-enactments" we cultivate mindsets and behaviours that can help us adapt to diverse and unpredictable futures. This case study builds on futurist scenario planning and ancient meditation practices, as well as age-old sideshows, anachronistic re-enactments and contemporary disaster drills. We sketch our future lives as improvised, participatory experiences and test them in a number of near future scenarios. <html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/8455442570/" title="resilients-timesplash by _foam, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8455442570_9c5229b1aa_b.jpg" width="699" height="364" alt="resilients-timesplash"></a></html> === The Resilients and their activities informing the Future Preparedness case study: === * [[future_prehearsals|Experiments for Home Futurists]]: FoAM's fieldwork on scenario planning and future prehearsals * [[artists_in_transience|Transiency of a Contemporary Journeyman]]: Dougald Hine's quest for resilience as "artist in transience" * [[transgenerational residency|Family in Residence]]: The Simpsons (Mark, Leah, Scarlet and Delilah) transform FoAM Brussels from a cultural laboratory into a 21st century clan -- and also celebrate the first [[http://fo.am/rbd/|Rocket Boat Day]] * Collective Introspection in the [[naikan|Naikan retreat]]: Helga Hartl assisted by Christina Stadlbauer conducts a silent retreat at the FoAM studio, investigating the effect of Naikan practice on collaboration and communication in a working environment * Science, crafts and emerging technologies in the [[:mathematickal_arts_2011|Mathematickal Arts]] workshop: Carole Collet and Tim Boykett bring together disparate disciplines - mathematics, textile design and tangible programming - to explore how borrowing from one another's fields can increase their resilience * [[Resilients Salons]]: a series of conversations about topics related to cultural resilience, hosted by notable speakers and thinkers from a variety of backgrounds * Anthropologist Coralie Stalberg's [[debrouillardise_et_coquetterie|Débrouillardise et Coquetterie]]: investigating DIY textile practices and associated recycling strategies during World War II * [[scenario symphony|Composing a Scenario Symphony]] with Anna Maria Orru and David Relan: exploring future scenario building through the [[temporal model]] and [[from pan to panarchy|panarchy]] * Maja Kuzmanovic and Nik Gaffney reflect on FoAM's own future preparedness experiments in [[Prehearsing the Future]], and summarises the recipe they devised in the [[Prehearsal Pocket Guide]] Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
