How can the unique quality of works of art be conveyed in digital space? The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and the Kunsthalle Mannheim investigated this question in the joint, multi-year research project "From Work to Display". The results can be discovered in the collections of both museums until November 2. How can museums actively shape the digital transformation? How can the unique quality of works of art be conveyed in virtual space? Combining the analog and digital productively, conceptually and aesthetically was the central concern of the multi-year research project "From Work to Display" at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and the Kunsthalle
Mannheim. The project was funded as part of the "Kultur Digital" program of the German Federal Cultural Foundation. It was implemented in close collaboration with the agencies Fluxguide and Wegesrand, both of which specialize in digital museum visitor experiences, as well as the associated partners
associated partners International Festival of Animated Film Stuttgart (ITFS) and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

Episodes have been developed for 22 works of art from both collections, which pursue new, experimental approaches to communication in the digital space. A direct comparison between the original and the digital translation is possible on site in the museums. For example, visitors to the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart can interactively explore the interplay of color, form and contrast in the painting "The Bach Singer" by Johannes Itten. The figures in Otto Dix's triptych "Großstadt" are brought to life virtually and tell of the events depicted from their own perspective. Individual elements from Mona Ardeleanu's paintings can be combined on a digital artboard to create your own collages and new works of art. At the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, there are also episodes on works by Willi Baumeister, Hanne Brenken, Rebecca Horn, Wolfgang Laib, Josephine Meckseper, Dieter Roth and Mirja Wellmann.
