Bereft Nothing vs. Fecund Nothing

2. fecund nothing

media which trigger aporia in the viewer in order to engender a kind of supra-semiotic experience of nothing.

Such media enlist the viewer as a meaning-making machine in order to sabotage that meaning-making machine, so that other affective, material, a-linguistic forms of experience may rise to the surface. The semiotic system is not "dismantled" (impossible), but rather used as a launching pad to bootstrap an accompanying affective experience which then exceeds it.
