The Display project of the Art Innovation Workshop of the Universitat Jaume I has inaugurated in the multipurpose hall of the Paranimf of the UJI the work "Approaching zero" by the Serbian artist Katarina Petrović, a work that represents a step forward in the investigation of creative processes from cognition and the notion of origin to the relationship between language and physical phenomena. The exhibition is presented in the form of a dichotomous video installation and "examines what negation can mean in language and nature", emphasises the artist.

The presentation was attended by the artistic director and curator of the Display project, Maya-Marja Jankovic, and the vice-rector for Culture, Languages and Society, Carmen Lázaro, who stressed that "the opening of this exhibition and the collaboration with Display is a clear demonstration of the university's commitment to culture and contemporary art and that its mission goes beyond teaching and research". Also present at the event was Vladimir Bjeličić, curator of the Belgrade Cultural Centre, who highlighted the collaboration between this Serbian institution and the UJI that has been confirmed with the signing of an agreement between the two organisations that has culminated in the first exchange of artists within the Display project.  
  
The work presented by the Serbian artist focuses on the negative representation of that which cannot be represented in any other way, such as zero, nothingness or infinity. Katarina Petrović has carried out an intriguing process of research, establishing an immediate connection between organic and inorganic life, that is, between analogue and digital experience. Thus Petrović, similar to the Dadaist understanding of the concept of *tabula rasa*, has in recent years manoeuvred with a principle of negation that functions as a tool for the transformation of meaning and thought.

The curator of the exhibition in Belgrade, Vladimir Bjeličić, explains that the Serbian artist, "guided by the question of whether language can reach zero with the help of the mathematical operation of cancellation, uses machine learning to generate new forms of knowledge, that is, of language". In this sense, the *tabula rasa* as an empty slate, and in this case a blackboard, becomes the stage for a continuous simulation of meaning. Finally, Petrović's work questions the claim that a machine can generate hope in a scenario where technology dominates society.

Katarina Petrović is an artist and researcher working at the intersection of art, science and technology. Focusing on generative processes in language and nature, she creates works in the form of modular installations in online and offline spaces, using media such as generative text, poetry, sound, software and performance.
