Abstract
This thesis sets out to research what flows of affect occur in the painter/painting assemblage. It explores the movements of the painter/painting assemblage through time in the painting-event. It utilizes New Materialist and Posthuman theory and methodology to explore in what way the material, semiotic, and social flows of affect intra-act and articulate themselves in the painting-event. It does so by exploring what the painter and painting do rather than what they are. The thesis tries to give insight into the inner workings of ontological meaning-making of the painting-event. It explores the articulation of material mattering through the painting-event and maps in what way the act of painting finds consistency in the unknown. In doing so, it demonstrates that the intra-actions between the meaningless meaning of the social flows and the mattering matter of the material flows articulate the painting and the painter.
Key concepts: intra-action, flows of events, assemblage, differing, meaningless, unknown, infrathin, negative prehension.
