Beyond the purely visual, to get a flat surface to interact with physical phenomena, which would be recorded without any intervention or involvement. Photographic events in which some images recorded very determined fixed forms, and in other time-exposures the images became more about traces and about movement.

Quantum Superposition.
At the moment a measurement is made in Beijing, everything remains in quantum superposition with respect to Vienna. The equipment making the measurements, the scientists reading them, the notebooks in which they are written down, the messages in which the results of the measurements are conveyed, are all quantum objects themselves.

The concretization of colour as substance/matter/movement/agency.
Beuy's brown and Klein's blue form a pair of opposites, according to the hermetic-alchemical world view, such opposites contain the arcane power of polar dissimilarity that seeks to be augmented and joined together.

The direct use of physical materials, the interest in systematic experimentation and a preoccupation with the fluctuating perception of events depending on the position of the observer and the nature of the light.

The Implied Observer
Towards an understanding of how matter comes to matter.
Performativity is precisely a contestation of the excessive power granted to language to determine what is real, performativity is actually a contestation of the unexamined habits of mind that grant language and other forms of representation more power in determining our ontologies than they deserve.
Thingification, the turning of relations into things, entities, relata, which infects much of the way we understand the world and our relationship to it.
In Posthumanist Performativity, Karen Barad advocates agential realism as an alternative to representationist ontologies that split semiotic from material reality.
Barad argues that matter is not a substance but an intra-activity, and that agency is not an exclusively human attribute, but rather the enactment of iterative changes across macro/microscopic levels of matter.
Matter is performative in that it reproduces itself through the effects of its own intra-active dynamic material relationships. Relata do not pre-exist these relationships, but emerge through them in the fluid, diffractive boundaries that crystalize phenomenon/matter into things/thingification that are positioned in a spatial-temporal affective relation.
The subject/object dichotomy is performatively enacted through the specific spatial temporal proximity between the two necessary for apprehension, in which the approximal relationship through which subject and object emerge. The cognitive split that constitues the I is a discursive practice called the agential cut which is a conception of separability between one thing and another that grants the illusion of agency.
For Barad, discursive practices are not only linguistic expressions of human language, but extend to other material specific practices of intra-action entangled with other intra-actions that produce material phenomena. The material apparati which constrain, but do not over determine these practices find within their own diffractive limits possible dynamic reconfigurations of the world.
Because being is not a static relationality but a doing, that always entails constituting exclusions, a posthumanist engagement with performative matter must not only account for the sites of human/non human cuts, but also challenge the ethical stakes of such cuts.
