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.

Light installations

During the 1970s George Smits received recognition (Jeune Peinture Belge) with his light installations The Colour Company, attempting to define space using light as his medium. He experiments with light beams, making the entire rainbow spectrum of colour visible, and having these reflect so as to define the respective space. For this, Smits employed simple means, like a slide projector, perforated slides, prisms, mirror mats and bamboo sticks.
