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.

Yo-Yo, 2001

Painting, 240 x 360 cm.

Collection: Courtesy the artist.

Yo-Yo is the result of collaboration between Carla Arocha and Narcisse Tordoir. The piece consists of three panels, originally based on newspaper tables giving the stock market quotes. From this, Arocha designed a sort of camouflage pattern that she interwove with the structure of a safe door.

Yo-Yo has a ground layer of fluorescent paint upon which white numbers are painted and where, subsequently, the camouflage pattern in silver is applied. The whole creates a purple glow that is only physically perceptible.
