The purpose of this exposition is to collect data of what Performative Theology can be and become primarily within an academic research but also beyond. The expo will be a timespace nurtured by members the Network for Performative Theology, established 6 October 2022 in Oslo.

This artistic research explores the creative transformation of the electromagnetic spectrum into visual language, particularly gamma rays. Continuing the previous part of my research developed during my Master's thesis at RUFA, Rome, Italy (2023), the present-day work expands the focus from gamma radiation to a broader engagement with the electromagnetic spectrum. When I started working on these pieces, I did not want to limit the work to a purely scientific explanation of the phenomenon. That approach felt too limited for what I was trying to express. I used colors, rhythm, and space for form in each work. Gamma rays serve as a starting point for considering transformation and inner strength. Works such as "New gamma-ray burst with a white hole," "Visible," and "Mariotti" merge scientific ideas with symbolic narratives. I have based this work on scientific sources and my experience. I also followed my intuition while examining the relationship between radiation physics and neuroaesthetics. Ultimately, this evolving work demonstrates how artwork can reframe scientific principles. It presents an aesthetic strategy for perceiving the imperceptible. Aim This artistic research explores how the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes both seen and invisible frequencies such as gamma rays, microwaves, and radio waves, can be translated into visual form through modern-day blended media practices. Rather than illustrating scientific concepts in a didactic manner, the project seeks to evoke electromagnetic energy's perceptual, emotional, and symbolic dimensions. The study aspires to provide a new creative framework for engaging with unseen forces that structure each herbal phenomenon and internal human state by integrating material experimentation, digital techniques, and theoretical insights from neuroaesthetics, physics, and human psychology.

"Wat heeft mijn leven nog voor zin?" In dit onderzoek neem ik je mee in mijn zoektocht naar hoe theater als kunstvorm én leermiddel studenten kan helpen om deze ontmoetingen met moed en empathie aan te gaan. Ik heb verhalen verzameld. Van studenten die zoeken, patiënten die worstelen, en van professionals die laveren tussen nabijheid en afstand. Die verhalen heb ik verweven tot een theatervoorstelling. Een levend leerlandschap waar zorg en kunst elkaar raken.

Through a series of photographic assemblages that focus on texture, depth, and atmosphere, “The Oracle of Delphi” documents interactions between these assemblages and AI language models. The work demonstrates specific ways that current AI systems struggle to comprehend material qualities and contextual relationships in personal narratives, particularly when dealing with dimensionality, surface qualities, and emotional resonance. By analyzing these limitations, the work reveals the gap between human and machine perception of materiality and affect, while suggesting potential approaches for developing more nuanced human-machine encounters. Through these material encounters and a deliberate “kinking” of established patterns, the work demonstrates how algorithmic systems might be recrafted from processes of reduction into expansive sites of co-creation and possibility.

This virtual exposition partially concentrates the experimental works developed during the doctorate in musical performance. Based mainly on the theory of transcreation of Haroldo de Campos (1962-2003), the topic of virtuosity is approached from artistic gestures trying to raise the discussion on what it means to be a virtuoso in the contemporary musical world. Paradoxically, iconic piano technique studies were chosen as the main material,this transcreationist interpretation allows traditional material to be permeated not only by contemporary means and aesthetics, but also questions that reflect on the tradition that made the emergence of these studies possible.
