Artist Anouk Kruithof has created a new animation specially for Raamwerk – the LED screens behind the windows in the museum’s facade. In her work, Kruithof investigates how we deal with the continuous stream of images online and on social media. For Whirlwind she took inspiration from online images of works in the museum’s collection. She used the corresponding titles and web texts as prompts to generate GIFs via Instagram. Combining the GIFs with details from the artworks creates absurdist visual jokes in 118 short visual stories that are in constant flux.
