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.

In “Eclips” Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven uses a disturbed fragment from Michelangelo Antonioni’s film-classic “L’eclisse”, in which the actress Monica Vitti turns her back to the camera. The turn is slowed down and digital manipulated by the artist. By augmenting the contrast in the images Van Kerckhoven creates exorcising figures, characterized by her graphic and nervous style.

Vitti’s opponent in the film, Alain Delon, figures as an almost unrecognizable shadow in a layered editing in which close-ups of a fish are the most impressive image. Now and then, there are some moments of obstruction in which a void occurs. For Van Kerckhoven, images are forces, powers. They exorcise the forces behind the visible, the forces behind the conventions.
