Performative Science—Transgressions from Scientific to Artistic Practices and Reverse

Performative Science is a research practice that is inherently processual and takes up a first person stance on epistemic things. It bears resemblance to phenomenological, that is to say, artistic practices and is most notably characterised by its reflective power. The current era of harsh reification of the meaning of Being in the course of an ongoing cybernetisation demands for such a reflection. Performative Science is a veritable attempt to turn technology into a hermeneutic practice, and if possible, even as part of an hermeneutics of facticity, that is to say, the inherently temporal understanding of (human) Being. A few concrete applications are introduced that partially have self-deconstructive features in order to emphasise the radical openness of Performative Science, that is far from being a scientific method. Rather, a method becomes emergent by tuning oneself into the epistemic thing.
