What if all works of art were better understood as functioning apparatuses, entangling their human audiences in experiences of becoming? What if certain works of art were even able to throw the brakes on becoming altogether, making nothings rather than somethings? What would be the ethical value of making nothing, of stalling becoming; and how might such nothings even be made? Some Ways of Making Nothing: Apophatic Apparatuses in Contemporary Art borrows its understanding of apparatuses from quantum mechanics and the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, and its understanding of nothing from apophatic (negative) theology. It then proposes a new way of understanding art, applying this understanding to artworks by Arakawa and Gins, Robert Fludd, David Crawford, Joshua Citarella, William Pope.L, and Haim Steinbach. Philosophy, physics, theology, and media theory are traversed and involved in order to understand art differently so that it might be made to matter more.

Exploring a diverse range of topics, this collection of fifteen essays reflects the evolution of an artist and theorist over 15 years. Covering media theory, philosophy, music and art reviews, and design, the essays serve as a time capsule of media history from 2000 to 2014. The author’s journey transitions from hacking and web design to internet art and continental philosophy, culminating in discussions on glitch art and the New Aesthetic, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of art and technology.
