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.

Like many conceptual artists in the 1970s, Philippe Van Snick concerns himself with concepts of place and time. This is demonstrated, among others, in the works in which he indicates “directions”: directions of hikers, planes or even tennis balls. Tennis is made up of four photos of television screens airing a tennis match. On three of those photos Van Snick connected two opposing players by means of a line made in permanent marker. By doing so he emphasises the momentum of the game, which evolves in time. The work functions autonomously, but also corresponds to other photo series, such as Richtingen.
