This synthetic work is a coherent summary of 6 years research work at the ZKM Institute for Basic Research in Karlsruhe. The motto of the research, designed to reflect the discipline of both art and science, was "performative science", a new research method that methodologically complements the natural sciences by means of a performative-artistic procedure. The book offers a theoretical, praxis-motivated discourse on the topic, strongly orientated towards philosophical hermeneutics. It provides a methodological bridge between science and art.
