This project delves into the epistemology of visual and material 'things' to understand their validity, significance, and socio-cultural impact. It explores how visual-material elements are encountered, interpreted, and how they communicate. The study investigates the affordances of visual and material objects, the affect they have from phenomenological and Deleuzian perspectives, and the dynamics of human-object interactions within historical materialism. Activities such as scanning, holding, placing, structuring, and rejecting are examined for insights on the characteristics of visual-material methods. By unlocking the 'speak' of things, this research aims to reveal their potential as socio-cultural tools.

The epistemology of visual and material ‘things’
Status of the visual-material? • What counts as ‘valid’ and why? • What can ‘things’ tell us? • How are they encountered? • How do they ‘speak’? • Visual-material as socio-cultural ‘tools’
Affordances of visual and material ‘things’
Affect (from phenomenology to Deleuze) Human-Object ‘situations’ (and historical materialism) Activities: e.g. Scanning-holding-placing-structuring-rejecting. Characteristics: e.g. Permanence, all-in-one-place, location and proximity, metaphorical, more-than dialogue. What affordances?
