Linkėjimai draugams iš FoAM, Belgijos tarpdisciplininės mokslo-ir-meno organizacijos, vykdančios be galo įdomius projektus ir kūrybines dirbtuves (workshops) Belgijoje. Juose FoAM vienija mokslą, meną, kulinariją, pasidaryk-pats, tyrinėdami gyvo, organiško pasaulio kitimą ir santykius (daugiau apie FoAM veiklą - čia). Balandžio mėnesį kartu su Tikru Alumi bendradarbiausime su jais ir mes, o kol kas - keletas pastarųjų FoAM iniciatyvų/dirbtuvių:

Maki Ueda artist, Scent Lab:
My interest lies in the scent in the real life, such as the smell of space, the smell of food and drink, the smell of a person, and the smell related to the memories.
Traditionally, a preference of the scent has been locally oriented. It owes to the evaporating character of the aromatic substance. So it could be said that the smell, in general, naturally represents the essence of a culture.
My goal is to create a medium for experiencing the different cultures by smelling.

Making Your Own Grätzel Cell or DIY Grätzel Cell
A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSc, DSC or DYSC[1]) is a relatively new class of low-cost solar cell, that belong to the group of thin-film solar cells.[2] It is based on a semiconductor formed between a photo-sensitized anode and an electrolyte, a photoelectrochemical system. This cell was invented by Michael Grätzel and Brian O'Regan at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in 1991[3] and are also known as Grätzel cells.
