There are many aspects, under which ZERO might be looked upon. “Visual Research?” No (because pure visual research continues the academic tradition). “Vibration?” No (because we merely use it as a means, not as an aim). “Universalism?” No (as every art has a trend towards universalism). “Purism?” No (as purism is utopic).
