Paul Levrie, Erwin Smet and Cris Vande Velde have all three been bitten by the microbe of amassing and researching mechanical calculators. On 20 September 1623, i used to be precisely 400 years because the first mechanical calculator was described, and so they couldn’t let this annniversary go by unnoticed. To attract consideration to it, they determined to arrange an exhibition with objects from their very own collections and a few borrowed machines.
The result’s a small however advantageous exhibition on the College of Antwerp. The exhibition highlights the rise, success and fall of mechanical calculating. A variety of accompanying tales define why it was so essential to mechanise calculating and what artistic options have been devised to realize this.
Greater than as soon as, the exhibition prompts guests to consider promoting methods and the influence of contemporary computing on our lives.
That is {the catalogue} accompanying this exhibition (22 September 2023 – 6 September 2024)
