Digitalis
All too often the digital revolution is depicted as a global nightmare: companies are shut down, jobs are cut, and the future is looking grim. Others try to take action and are bracing themselves for the giant disruption that is looming around the corner. In his thought-provoking book, Thierry Geerts proposes to replace the word 'disruption' with 'reinvention'. Take the car, for instance. The way we have been driving around for the past 50 years no longer has a future: we are constantly stuck in traffic, thousands of people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents, and cars are major contributors to air pollution. Electric, self-driving cars offer a safer and more efficient soluti...

Christophe Plantin's Correspondence. Perspectives on Life and Work as a Publisher in 16th-century Europe
In de 16de eeuw was Antwerpen een belangrijk humanistisch centrum. De ideale omgeving voor boekbinder-drukker en eersteklas netwerker Christoffel Plantijn. Via brieven hield hij contact met figuren zoals de geleerde Justus Lipsius, de kaartenmaker Abraham Ortelius en de plantkundige Rembert Dodoens. Dit boek bundelt de brieven die het meest tot de verbeelding spreken en die de uitgever-zakenman in volle actie tonen: terwijl hij auteurs ronselt, een Bijbelvertaling opstart, problemen met personeel oplost en nog veel meer. Plantijns brieven bieden zo meer inzicht in de persoon Plantijn én in de zestiende-eeuwse tijdsgeest met thema?s die ook vandaag nog brandend actueel zijn, zoals internationale handel, oorlog, censuur, reputatieschade, vader-dochterrelaties...00Exhibition: 'Brieven van Plantin', Museum Plantin-Moretus, Antwerp, Belgium (28.11.2020-28.2.2021).
