My etudes depict the nature of materialisation of affect through images of thought and non conscious cognition (Hayles, 2017). In using my sketches I display a non- representational narrative account of the child- canine encounter adhering to a Deluzian paradigm to portray affect as a rhythmic, sonerous assemblage of movements which radiate into an affective atmosphere as affective capacities are felt between bodies both human and non- human.
Etude 5, 6 and 7: The children's stroking of Dave's fur is rhythmical and finger tips are moved up and down on Dave's body in a similar action to playing the keys on a piano. Children are also using tapping motions on Dave's hind quarters as if they are playing drums. Dave seems to be an instrument in which the musicality of communication is literal and affective. This adds to as sonerous, affective space which transforms the atmosphere.
