Morgan, thanks for sending tendrils out to FoAM and thanks Nik & Maja, for responding :)
Since FoAM has done so much in this area already, may I propose that we explore
hosting a groworld-friendly discussion sometime when I'm back April 20-29?
PLSS can work out what that means, I'm sure. Here are two seeds ...
What do you all see of interest from past GroWorld events? Can we can engage with some GroWorld processes more synchronously in April?
Natasha Myers @ York may be available to come to do a movement+plants workshop (or preliminary discussion toward such a workshop).
(Dr. Myers' first studies were in molecular genetics of plant and flower development;
she wrote her dissertation at MIT STS/Anthropology/History, and
is interested in molecular biologists' embodied performances -- my inaccurate phrasing.)
Cheers,
Xin Wei

Hi Morgan, Thanks for getting in contact. you might also notice that you are subscribed to the groworld mailing list, a possible venue to further these discusions.. ..ill answer briefly, .. with a few links. but assume all our reference material and/or documentation could do with some pruning/weeding/rewilding// / context & technical notesIt appears Foam has been experimenting for five years or so with
this stuff. I'm wondering if you might be able to, first, point me
to some existing work, technical and philosophical that will help us:
- contextualize our project
- avoid repeating technical innovation
- define our goals
