'Diffracting the Copenhagen Interpretation: Toward non-local collaborative art practices' investigates the resonances of concepts from quantum theory in the realm of transdisciplinary practice-based artistic research. Throughout a series of protocols using diffractive methodologies, we intend to translate and embody concepts such as spacetime, entanglement, non-locality, uncertainty, indeterminacy, and superpositionality, and embed them as tools for our artistic practices. These concepts were chosen for their singularity in physics, but also for the ways in which they confront ontoepistemic pillars of ‘Modernity’, such as sequentiality, determinacy and separability. The research is carried out by a transdisciplinary non-local core ensemble formed by Søren Kjærgaard, Amilcar Packer, and Carla Zaccagnini. The cities we inhabit – Copenhagen, Sao Paulo and Malmö – have been our laboratories. Departing from tools and methods learned from each-other's disciplines, we have been creating scores that guide our simultaneous actions while walking on the street –interacting with public spaces and their characteristics– or while lying asleep –in the most private of spheres. On the one hand, in a practice we call ‘non-local walking’, scores conduct our collective experiencing of our cities, involving a diffractive methodology of reading and listening, and the entangled collecting of objects, words and other affections found in the urban terrain. On the other hand, the ‘entangling dream practice’ experiment is an attempt without aiming at success of meeting each other in our dreams. Both investigations are conceived as boundary-crossing transdisciplinary methodologies through which we create a relational, critical consciousness and sensing that stimulates unexpected outcomes, embracing failure. These scored performances have resulted in cartographies, drawings, moving sculptures, audio works and writings. Across these various materializations, unexpected connections, constellations, and coincidences e/merge, unveiling yet unheard polyphonies that give resonance to the urban and mental spaces, as potentized terrains awaiting (re)circuitry, and, as fields of forces that await to be (re)experienced.

LGP Performative Method Embodying Creative Transitions Through Project-Based Immersion The LGP Performative Method is a transdisciplinary support system designed for artists, entrepreneurs, and hybrid professionals navigating complex creative transitions. Rooted in performance, psychoanalytic insight, and ritualized thinking, the method invites participants to engage deeply with their emotional landscape and personal image as they develop projects that are both intimate and public. This article presents the conceptual pillars and the evolution of the method through performative installations, site-specific experiments, and testimonial archives. Unlike coaching or therapy, LGP works by immersive presence and symbolic acts that reorient the practitioner in relation to their project, their desire, and their audience. With a focus on Erotic Leadership, Liminal Psychoanalytic Fashion, and Project Reconfiguration, the method offers a dynamic toolkit to support non-linear processes and facilitate creative emergence. The piece includes visual documents, field notes, and reflections on what it means to be a body-in-process building something real.

Performative Paradigm for Businesses Reconfiguring Strategy, Presence and Creative Leadership This article introduces the Performative Paradigm as an innovative framework for business development, leadership and strategic positioning. Moving beyond traditional rational models, the performative approach integrates embodiment, narrative, and emotional architecture into the very core of professional structures. Rather than separating personal presence from strategic decision-making, this paradigm understands the body, desire, and symbolic expression as essential tools for navigating uncertainty and generating sustainable innovation. Drawing from performance studies, psychoanalytic thinking, and affect theory, the article explores how performative logic can be applied to projects, teams, and leadership styles—especially within multidisciplinary or creative industries. Far from being abstract, the paradigm proposes concrete methodologies and real cases where performative alignment has shifted business dynamics: from burnout to embodied clarity, from fragmentation to integrated vision. Aimed at entrepreneurs, consultants, and visionary leaders, this article opens a liminal path where doing and being converge.

The artistic research project "(un)Romantic / Improvising Interpretation" 2021-2024 was led by vocalist/composer Live Maria Roggen and pianist/composer Ingfrid Breie Nyhus at the Norwegian Academy of Music, funded by the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme. The explorations have concerned creative interpretation and aesthetical language, through improvising together as a duo: What can an interpretation be or become? Where does a story live? What is Romantic and what is unRomantic? Where does the ‘new’ begin and where does the ‘old’ go?

This research explores the intersection of art and technology through the innovative use of the oscilloscope in musical composition and performance. Originally a tool for scientific and industrial applications, the oscilloscope’s ability to transform electrical signals into dynamic visual patterns offers a unique opportunity for audio-visual expression. This study is motivated by a fascination with the device’s aesthetic and philosophical potential, as well as its capacity to bridge sound and image, creating a multisensory artistic experience. The central research questions guiding this investigation are: How can the oscilloscope be incorporated into compositional practice? Can it function as both a compositional tool and a live performance instrument? Is integration with acoustic instruments feasible, and how does it operate within an ensemble context? Through a combination of historical-theoretical research and practical experimentation, this study researches how the oscilloscope can indeed serve as a tool for composition, a performative instrument, and a collaborative element in mixed acoustic-electronic ensembles. The findings highlight the oscilloscope’s potential to redefine traditional musical practices, offering new dimensions of creativity and interaction, bringing unexplored possibilities along with strict limits and challenges. This research contributes to the growing field of multimedia art, providing insights for composers and performers interested in exploring the translation of sound to image, and technology.

▲ The LGP Apartment as a Performative Box: Eroticism, Ritual, and Desire in Transit explores how a domestic space becomes a stage for embodied performance, blending elements of eroticism, ritualistic acts, and transient desires. This work investigates the intersections between personal and performative identities within the confines of an intimate environment, highlighting the transformative power of space in shaping human experience and creative expression. Oriented to the materialization of creative projects to make them productives. This exposition constitutes the first delivery of a broader research-creation process around the LGP method. It proposes a performative, erotic and ritual-based perspective on space, body, and desire. This fixed publication is intended as an archival moment within an ongoing constellation of artistic and psychoanalytic inquiries. Further works will unfold as complementary explorations. Published in parallel on Zenodo with DOI: [10.5281/zenodo.1562769] ▲ El departamento LGP como caja performativa: erotismo, ritual y deseo en tránsito explora cómo un espacio doméstico se convierte en un escenario para la performance corporal, integrando elementos de erotismo, actos rituales y deseos transitorios.
