In addition to possessing a doctorate in quantum physics, Flor Campise is an Argentinian political activist, performance artist, and conductor of improvisational workshops. She has developed her research on moving bodies and their relation to space-time-matter in the convergence of these fields. She questions paradigms of knowledge construction by investigating topics such as perception, body, and experience.



Flor joined Joe Dumit (Chair of Performance Studies at UC Davis, and professor of Anthropology and of Science & Technology Studies) during his extended stay at the studio. Flor and Joe co-hosted a follow-up event to his workshops on slownesses that revolved around viscoelasticity – a property of materials that can both stretch and flow over time. Based on Flor’s bodymind scores, we explored the concept-practices of viscoelasticity, materials with memory, and their entanglements with quantum physics and temporal disjunctions.
