The key to weird media is that it reveals apophatic visions. Surveillance infrastructure, 404’s and even non-human cameras
are all describable, all real, all translatable within the limitations
of their media. Thacker says that with weird media ‘all objects
inevitably withdraw into things.’ Through weird media, objects are
revealed for their ’thinginess.’
This puts them beyond the realm of subjective understanding and
highlights the impossibility of connection. In this sense, weird media
may be the only truly ‘supernatural’ category of dark media and the only
one I can’t de-analogise.
