M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

Essential

 

In 1964 Jef Verheyen and poet Paul De Vree make the experimental film Essentieel (Essential). It enables Verheyen to present real vibrations, reflections and tremors of light. Experiencing light is more important to him than painting it. In Essentieel we see flashing, monochrome fields of colour and abstract representations of the elements: fire, water, earth and air. Abstract soundscapes are interrupted by recurring sentences in different languages: 

 

Als de zon zonnig alleen zijn

Off to the cosmos

Plonger dans l’infini

Quiver entirely
