- Following
- Tracing
- Embracing Uncertainty
- De-scribing
- "is a composing act (de-scribing) that entails replying visual

- "is a composing act (de-scribing) that entails replying visual

- "investigate how a wildly consequential
a visual thing is, we cannot help but
confront materiality's radical opens and
flux no matter how much uncertainty
such research creates" (97).
- De-scribing
- "exterior relations so they can disclose the
process whereby an image circulates,
materializes in different versions, intra-acts with
other concrete and abstract entities, and triggers
changes" (94).
- Embracing Uncertainty
- Discovering why
technological systems or
inventions fail to material
- "how it plays a significant role
in generating, sustaining, and
influencing the continual
assemblage and reassemble
of collective existence" (89).
- Tracing
- Accounts for an image's diachronic movement, complex
relationally, and distributed materialization and impact.
- Following

- "actants themselves can make everything,
including their own frames, their own
theories, their own contexts, their own
metaphysics...even their own ontologies"

- "If no trace is produced...they offer no
information to the observer and will
have no visible effect on other agents"
(94).
