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.

Guillaume Bijl's installations present a fabricated reality. His compositions are made up of objects related to our consumer society, he creates 'compositions trouvée' or found compositions. Bijl collects objects and presents them as artworks.

In his Sorry series, Bijl explores the boundaries of the absurd, while maintaining a sense of humor.

Bijl's inspiration comes from reality: "I constantly find kitsch elements in reality, I want to show those elements in a realistic manner. I assess mass culture and show little bits of our society."
