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: Collectie M HKA, Antwerpen / Foundation Gordon Matta-Clark (Inv. no. S0079).

Like many works by architect and visual artist Luis F. Benedict, Furnarius Rufus questions the impact of modernisation on the Argentine sense of identity. In this artwork, the often recurring theme of nature (here with a reference to the South American songbird Furnarius Rufus) versus culture takes the form of a series of shells, both natural and man-made, that fit into one another to protect what is vulnerable.
