Katarina was the winner of the 2019 Mangelos Award (Young Visual Artists Award in Serbia). We invite everyone to join us online. Due to the pandemic, the exhibition previously prepared for the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade, has been moved online. The solo show opens with a live online performance on Sunday December 20 at 20:00 CET. The exhibition will be followed by an artist talk on Dec 23 at 18:00 pm (in Serbian language) and a panel later in January. All links will be announced separately. The exhibition/website presents Katarina’s current research and work in progress exploring the possibility of approaching zero through language. The work centers around the entanglement of matter and meaning by focusing on the intriguing and paradoxical concept of zero - that which is both something and nothing at the same time. Negative Poetry is an experiment in language, part of an ongoing research into creative processes, language and the concept of origin. The idea for this work comes from the mathematical concept of approaching zero and the concept of cancellation where -n and n result in 0. In calculus, we can approach zero from either a positive or a negative direction, and the resulting limit of each equation is infinity (∞ and -∞). The question is can the same be applied to natural language? The research consists of two experimental setups - the Negative Poetry Machine Algorithm, a custom made software that translates the Bible into its negative using the database of the Oxford English Dictionary, and the Negative Poetry Human Algorithm, a live online performance made of nine people and developed in collaboration with Orion Maxted and The Interactions group - a trans-disciplinary thought-band consisting of roughly 20 artists and scientists investigating self-organization and collective intelligence, hosted by the Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Amsterdam. Interactors: Orion Maxted (theatre maker/artscientist), Katarina Petrović (artscientist), Renske Vroomans (evolutionary biologist), Enrico Sandro Colizzi (evolutionary biologist), Izabelė Jonušaitė (philosopher), Sára Iványi (poet), Thomas Dudkiewicz (theatre maker), Marie Groothof (theatre maker) and Cadell Last (philosopher). Programming and technical support by Keez Duyves (PIPSlab) and Jur de Vries. Negative Poetry Machine Algorithm: is developed by Milos Grujić using Oxford English Dictionary and was supported by OED researcher access. ---- The work and extended research are scheduled to be exhibited at the Cultural Center of Belgrade in December 2021 and it will bring together experiments with vacuum (the material nothing) and zero (the conceptual nothing). Inspired by scientific, artistic, philosophical and linguistic work, this study opens up questions of limits of representation and understanding, simultaneously looking into the intrinsic relationship between imagination, negation and paradox and related capacity to misrepresent, be ironic or lie. The exhibition is produced by Miroslav Karić and supported by the Ilija & Mangelos Foundation, Center Leo Apostel, Vrije Universiteit in Brussels. The Interactions is a group of artists, scientists and philosophers by the Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Amsterdam, and was initiated through the artist-fellowship of Orion Maxted.

/ English Negativna poezija je izložba Negativna poezija je delo u nastajanju Negativna poezija je algoritamska Negativna poezija nije negativna Negativna poezija se približava nuli Negativna poezija je biti u neizvesnosti Negativna poezija je misteriozna Negativna poezija Negativna poezija je otkrivanje sopstva Negativna poezija je kolektivna Negativna poezija je pisanje Negativna poezija je performativna Negativna poezija je ritam Negativna poezija je istraživačka online izložba Katarine Petrović, čiji je virtuelni domaćin Muzej nauke i tehnike u Beogradu, a realizovana je u okviru izložbenog programa Nagrade “Dimitrije Bašičević Mangelos”. Katarina Petrović je dobitnica Nagrade Mangelos za 2019. godinu. Zbog pandemije, izložba prvobitno koncipirana za prostor Muzeja nauke i tehnike u Beogradu, seli se u sferu virtuelnog. Pozivamo sve da nam se pridruže u prvom u nizu planiranih događaja, online performansu "Negativna poezija ljudskog algoritma" (Negative Poetry Human Algorithm), koji se održava u nedelju, 20. decembra, u 20 časova. Događaj će imati posebnu najavu sa pristupnim linkom, a preporuka je da se prati sa kompjutera. Takođe vas pozivamo da uzmete učešća i u predstojećem razgovoru i panelu, na kojima učestvuju umetnica Katarina Petrović, teoretičarka medija i književnosti dr Dubravka Đurić (Fakultet za medije i komunikacije), uz moderaciju prevoditeljke Ljiljane Ilić (Centar za promociju nauke). Pristupni zoom link za umetnički razgovor i panel 23. decembra u 18 h biće posebno najavljen. Više o izložbi Prvi segment rada čini website sa Katarininim aktuelnim istraživanjima o mogućnosti približavanja nuli kroz jezik. Okosnicu rada čini preplitanje materije i značenja, fokusirajući se na intrigantni i paradoksalni koncept nule - onoga što je istovremeno i nešto i ništa. Negativna poezija je jezički eksperiment, deo kontinuiranog istraživanja kreativnih procesa, jezika i koncepta porekla. Ideja za ovaj rad dolazi iz matematičkog koncepta približavanja nuli i koncepta poništavanja gde -n i n rezultiraju 0. U računanju, nuli se možemo približiti iz pozitivnog i iz negativnog smera, a rezultujuća granica svake jednačine je beskonačnost (∞ i -∞). Pitanje je, da li se isto može primeniti na prirodni jezik? Istraživanje se sastoji od dve eksperimentalne postavke - Negativne poezije mašinskog algoritma (Negative Poetry Machine Algorithm) i Negativne poezije ljudskog algoritma (Negative Poetry Human Algorithm). Negative Poetry Machine Algorithm je softver koji Bibliju prevodi u njen negativ koristeći bazu podataka Okfordskog rečnika engleskog jezika. Softver je napisao Miloš Grujić. Negative Poetry Human Algorithm je online performans u kojem učestvuje devet performera/ki koji dolaze iz različitih profesija. Performans je razvijan u saradnji sa Orion Maxted-om i transdisciplinarnom grupom The Interactions, koju čini dvadesetak umetnika/ca i naučnika/ca koji istražuju samoorganizaciju i kolektivnu inteligenciju, čiji je domaćin Institute for Advanced Studies Univerziteta u Amsterdamu. Učesnici: Orion Maxted (pozorišni umetnik/artscientist), Katarina Petrović (artscientist), Renske Vroomans (evoluciona biološkinja), Enrico Sandro Colizzi (evolucioni biolog), Izabelė Jonušaitė (filozofkinja), Sára Iványi (pesnikinja), Thomas Dudkiewicz (pozorišni umetnik), Marie Groothof (pozorišna umetnica) i Cadell Last (filozof). Programiranje i tehnička podrška - Keez Duyves i Jur de Vries. Celokupan rad i šire istraživanje biće prezentovani u Galeriji Podroom, Kulturni centar Beograda, u decembru 2021. godine, a objediniće eksperimente sa vakuumom (materijalno ništa) i nulom (konceptualno ništa). Inspirisana naučnim, umetničkim, filozofskim i lingvističkim radovima, ova studija otvara pitanja ograničenja reprezentacije i razumevanja, istovremeno ispitujući suštinski odnos između imaginacije, negacije i paradoksa, kao i prostora pogrešnog predstavljanja, ironisanja ili laganja koje se s tim u vezi može otvoriti. Izložba je realizovana u organizaciji Fonda Ilija & Mangelos, producenta Miroslava Karića i uz podršku Centra Leo Apostel, Vrije Universiteit u Briselu.
