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.

They Almost Fit, 2006

Collage, 110 x 85 cm.

Collection: Private Collection, Berlin.

“It may be that there are more similarities than we think in these objects”, reads the text on the upper half of this wooden panel. At first sight, They Almost Fit is a collection of various materials grouped in between them in a way that they do not exactly fit. The dialogue between these elements is created through the way the artist has placed them, giving life to otherwise meaningless pieces of objects with the aid of short narratives, metaphors, word-play and quotes from other authors and from his own artworks.
