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: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK3964).

Pacem in terris was initially a ‘typogram’ and appeared in the collection Zimprovisaties (1968). De Vree here used the typewriter to draw a tank on top of a plinth formed by the stacked repetition of the phrase ‘pacem in terris’. By juxtaposing the text with the image of a tank, De Vree undermines the ideology of the arms race between the two superpowers and raises the question as to whether, within the context of nuclear deterrents, peace can ever be maintained or even achieved by increasing the possession of arms.
