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.

Kus, 1966

The use of a typewriter and the graphic-geometric structure that defines some concrete poems are two elements that link concrete poetry to the constructivist and kinetic art that was extremely popular at the beginning of the Sixties. In the poems Mij Ook! En ik? (1966), Kus (1966), and Brigitte Floorflex (1966) for example, De Vree plays on this connection. By repeating words, which also usually form the poem’s title, without any spaces, De Vree fills a rectangular or square area. Because the letters in the different lines are the same but are not positioned directly underneath each other, the contrasting black and white creates a (light) fluctuation in these poems that is reminiscent of kinetic art.
