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.

Collection: Carla Arocha & Stéphane Schraenen.

The constructions of Carla Arocha & Stéphane Schraenen constitute an artistic research within and into the rich tradition of abstract art. Their work exists at a moment of confluence of material and idealistic reality, and of static and mobile environment. From there, a synthesis arises in which both the architecture of the space and the movement of the viewer are involved. This also applies to the installation Circa Tabac from 2007, a triangular floor construction with mirrors, which repeats itself in an endless reflection of its spatial (museum) environment. Everything within the field of view of the installation is shredded, fragmented and reflected. In Sanguine/Bloedrood the installation is set up in the middle of the round room of the M HKA, so that the surrounding portraits of Jordaens and Zurbaràn and the work of Pinsel and Ghekiere endlessly mirror themselves in an ever changing, fragmented constellation.
