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.

The paintings by Bert De Beul may actually be called figurative – we recognise a face, a bridge, a house – although the images sometimes seem to withdraw in front of our eyes and to dissolve into hazy coloured patches. This pendulum motion between figuration and abstraction is explained by the fact that the artist does not put reality as such on the canvas, but rather his memories and associations. Moreover, this personal and subjective relationship to the subject causes a shift in meaning: the concrete, almost banal object becomes a thrilling and mysterious image.
