Annals of Mathematics and Philosophy vol. I, no. 2, 2023 M×Φ Much Badiou about Nothing: Productive Misreadings of Mathematical Ideas and Isiah Medina’s 88:88 by CLINT ENNS

"Where Badiou uses mathematical concepts to develop an ontological framework, Medina uses mathematics to develop a cinematic framework. Through the use of mathematics, Medina is attempting to see cinema in new ways. Like Badiou, he is also applying the same mathematical systems in an attempt to understand social, legal and psychological systems to explore problems beyond the underlying logic of ZFC — an axiomatic system not conceived with these concerns in mind. Nevertheless, by evoking the infinite, Medina is pushing the poetic potential of cinema by suggesting the cut as having the potential to create new possibilities. In thinking through the infinite, Medina is attempting to conceptualize the infinite possibilities of cinema, a cinema beyond that which has already been shown to us." https://clintenns.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/MxPhi_I_2_Enns.pdf

Artist: Clint Enns

Clint Enns aka “@clintenns" is a Montreal-based writer and visual artist whose innovative exploration of AI technology creates unsettling, otherworldly imagery. His work, often described as a fusion of hallucination and distorted memories, challenges the viewer's perception of reality. By embracing the imperfections of artificial intelligence, Enns pushes the boundaries of visual art and invites us into a world that is simultaneously familiar and disorienting. His images, inspired by glitchy, contradictory visuals, are designed to disrupt and reframe the way we engage with the digital landscape.

As an artist who embodies a distinct minoritarian voice in the art world, Clint Enns does not aim for conventional or polished results. When generating AI art using platforms like Stable Diffusion, his approach is intentionally experimental. Rather than producing a specific image or aesthetic, Enns sets parameters that encourage contradictions, ambiguity, and failure. His prompts are often circular, antithetical, or nonsensical—an intentional embrace of the “no-means-no” axiom that “nonsense is better than no sense at all.” By doing so, Enns subverts expectations, offering an experience that leaves viewers unsettled and questioning the limits of technology.

In addition to his digital artwork, Clint Enns creates artist books that combine images and writing to reflect on themes he is currently grappling with. His latest book, Camping at the Geriatric Ward, explores criticisms of AI art and the ethical dilemmas surrounding the medium. The book touches on issues such as corporate censorship, authorship, authenticity, and copyright, all within the context of AI’s intersection with the human experience. One of Enns' most poignant ideas in the book is that his AI-generated images are produced by his grandmother, who is losing the ability to speak due to dementia. Through the lens of AI, Enns suggests, his grandmother can communicate with the world in new and profound ways.

Enns' exploration of AI art began with the popular tool DALL·E-Mini, which made AI technology more accessible. Initially, his interest was in how the technology would misinterpret his prompts and where it would fail. He would challenge the system with impossible or self-referential tasks, such as asking for “an AI-generated face,” only to see a blur of distorted, almost abstract figures that the machine interpreted as human faces. This early experimentation laid the foundation for his ongoing work with other tools like DALL·E 2, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and Disco Diffusion. Ultimately, Enns has settled on Stable Diffusion, a tool he appreciates for its low cost (essentially free), ease of use, and its ability to produce the errors and glitches that are central to his artistic vision.

FROM KOLAJ 35

A Game of Skill or Chance?

James Schidlowsky is a creative polymath whose diverse output includes photography, collage, electronic circuitry, and computer programming. Schidlowsky is also involved in the experimental music scene and has collaborated with a wide range of Montreal artists. Despite working in a wide range of mediums, Schidlowsky often employs a strategy familiar to those who play pinball, namely, a delicate blend of skill and chance operations. He is rigorous and meticulous, but his work often allows space for free association and randomness. In Kolaj 35, Clint Enns Interviews James Schidlowsky. MORE

*****************************

Kolaj Magazine, a full color, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one's thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.
