-- Is concerned with environmental forces and materials, creating artworks affected or powered by wind, water, lightning, even earthquakes

-- Reclaims and remediates damaged environments, restoring ecosystems in artistic and often aesthetic ways

Luminous Green
'Luminous Green' is a series of gatherings about the world. About the world that supports life today and about the possible worlds that can support more luminous life in the future. With these events, the interdisciplinary laboratory FoAM calls upon the creative sector to enrich the public debate around environmental sustainability, ethical living and eco-technology.
“Reflecting on the role of the arts, design and technology in an environment of turbulence”
There are many worlds and many realities in our universe. When one reality, or one world-view is superimposed on another, it is inevitable that social, economic and cultural problems arise. Hierarchies of worlds are constructs of a bygone era. Ecologies of worlds should guide us in considering our future. We imagine this future to be responsive, adaptive and interconnected. We abandon the static and universal designs of the industrial era and move towards a world of malleable materials, objects and spaces.
