‘We do not obtain knowledge by standing outside of the world; we know because “we” are of the world.’
(Karen Barad-Posthumanist Performativity: Towards an Understanding of How Matter Comes to Matter)

 ‘You cannot make what you want to make, but what the materials permit you to make.…Each material has its own life, and one cannot without punishment destroy a living material to make a…senseless thing. That is we must not try to make materials speak our language, we must go with them to the point where others will understand their language.’ (Brancusi quote from ‘The Thinking Hand)
