LAST CHANCE | SŪNYA: STARTING FROM 0

In October 2021, the new Art and Science Gallery of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam will present an exhibition dedicated to zero in dialogue with art, science, technology, and philosophy. The exhibition aims to open a discussion on zero from different perspectives. Therefore, in this upcoming issue of Kunstlicht, you are invited to contribute to this discussion by investigating how zero can be an inspired concept to several disciplines intertwined.

You are welcome to write about zero in relation to the digital (and digital art), inquiring how the concept of zero as emptiness and fullness relates to how technologies mediate reality nowadays. Aspects we invite to question may concern investigating artists’ experimentations with the concept of void or collaborations between artists and scientists in creating multidisciplinary artworks based on physical phenomena to which the number zero is essential. We invite artists, writers and researchers to overcome the boundaries between art, philosophy, and science, investigating zero from interdisciplinary perspectives.
