To celebrate (or perhaps invoke) its fertility, we will kick-off 2008 in a `down to earth' way. Our first event of the year will be the screening of Audrius Mickevicius' documentary about farmer Jonas and his horse. Jonas is one of the few remaining examples of the nearly extinct "Man – Horse" generation. A generation based on the existential relationship, a symbiosis of sorts, between the human and the animal.

We invite you to join us for the screening and a drink:

What: f0amfr0th09: Man - Horse
When: Friday, 4 January 2008, 17:30

f0amfr0th 02: Imagine the interfaces between the corporeal and the digital environments, in 1 month, 1 year, 1 decade, 1 century. Come and share your wishes, plans and musings in an informal setting with FoAM, Code 31 and their esteemed guests. Jonah Brucker-Cohen (MIT Media Lab Europe, Ireland), Katherine Moriwaki (University of Dublin, Ireland) and Stephen Barrass (CSIRO, Australia) will be presenting their work and ideas, accompanied by a musical and gastronomic 'Aperitivo'.

Swollen from months of breathing hot summer air, FoAM and Code 31 mark the end of the holiday season with a celebration of 'surface tension', the inflatable, the blown-up, the puffed-out and amplified space, contained within (hot-air) baloons, portable pools, inflatable architecture, inflatable clothing, soap bubbles, airy sounds, fizzy drinks, artificial muscles and pneumatic interfaces. The swelling party includes new installations and minute performances fresh from our summer labs, topical nourishment in media and matter, and the kick-start of the autumn season.

From the pneumatic turmoil of the tension workshop a shiny airtight meeting room suited for anyone from ordinary folks to inflated executives, is part of a show at Looking Glass. The silvery plastic film houses the bodies and heads of three people at a time for an intimate meeting in the shared chamber. This triangular starfish evolved out of the experiments of Linda Karlsson. Her inflated costumes started to swallow-up more and more people, duos and eventually trios.

FoAM and The guild for Reality Integrators and Generators (gRig) invite you to a frothy evening dedicated to the culture, science and sensory experimentation with beer. This f0amfr0th promises to become an adventure through zymurgy and beerology, lost and found traditions, techniques and ingredients.
