The Performativity of Matter
Speaker - Zoe Laughlin
Event - invited tour

Description - "Materials perform. Stuff is constantly getting up to things. Matter is doing all of the time, at varying scales of time and space, in order to exist and generate the world of objects. The Performativity of Matter is a demonstration lead exploration of materials where the micro is rendered macro, the inanimate is shown to be animate, and material science meets performance. This is your chance to encounter some of the most wondrous matter on earth; from shape-memory paperclips to magnetic liquids, non-Newtonian fluids and radioactive fruit bowls, not to mention the lightest solid in the world." -ZL Workshop
