| {{intro_img-2.png}} | The ever-growing Libarynth is almost exactly what its name implies – a hybrid between a library and a labyrinth, a maze of pages in various stages of completion. It is a deeply intertwingled collection of documents, notes and [[randomness]] - many of which are related to [[start?do=search&id=foam|FoAM]], a network of transdisciplinary labs at the intersection of art, science, nature and everyday life. |

| The ever-growing Libarynth is exactly what its name implies – a hybrid between a library and a labyrinth, a maze of pages in various stages of completion. It is a deeply intertwingled collection of documents, notes and [[randomness]] - many of which are related to [[start?do=search&id=foam|FoAM]], a network of transdisciplinary labs at the intersection of art, science, nature and everyday life. | FoAM's collaborators, friends and sympathisers use the Libarynth as a research diary, sketchbook, or activity log. Some sections of the Libaryth are [[category_index|well structured]], others are overgrown and forgotten. Pages can be found on a variety of topics, from [[visual programming]] to [[experience_inflatables|inflatables]] or vegetarian-friendly [[restaurant guide|restaurants]] around the world, lists of [[Culture Ships]] or [[luminous/steady_state_economics|steady state economics]] or perhaps notes about [[fermentation_notes|fermentation]]. Many pages are in development, containing a few links or a couple of short notes (inviting interested wiki-gnomes to continue them). Others are more complete research reports or project descriptions. For weeks the Libarynth might be quiet, punctuated with sudden bursts of activity. It is a living archive of FoAM's interests and activities, continually changing and expanding. |

| FoAM's collaborators and friends use the Libarynth as their research diary, sketchbook, or activity log. Some sections of the Libaryth are well structured, others are overgrown and forgotten. There are valuable pages on a variety of topics, from visual programming to inflatables and even vegetarian-friendly restaurants around the world. Many pages are in development, containing a few links and a couple of short notes, inviting interested wiki-gnomes to complete them. Others are fully fledged research reports and project descriptions. For weeks the Libarynth might be quiet, with sudden bursts of activity when several people work on a joint project. It is a living archive of FoAM's interests and activities, continually changing and expanding. | |

| For some the Libarynth can be overwhelming, so we advise caution when first treading over its threshold. Once comfortable within the overgrown wilderness, you are very welcome to contribute: by starting new topics, editing existing pages, or making new connections into ot out of the Libarynth itself, beyond its porous edges. | For some the Libarynth can be overwhelming, so we advise caution when first treading over its threshold.
