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.

At first glance, *My Grandfather’s Shed* looks decrepit and not necessarily very inviting. But when we go inside we enter another world. In one corner there is a stool without backrest but with an unexpected light source under it. The light is cast on a miniature landscape that brings back memories of innocent, peaceful times. The winged, angelic figure hovering over it contributes to the mysterious, miraculous atmosphere. Besides the play of light and darkness this installation also employs scale and perspective: first the museum space, then the inside of the shed, then the extended landscape with the little angel.
