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.

The self-portrait Black Overalls is part of the series that Jef Geys showed on the 21st Biennale of Sao Paulo. The artist is looking for basic shapes that are simple in terms of structure, but are loaded with meaning at the same time. One of the triangles of the Star of David he is holding is coloured in in heraldic blue. Geys also overturns the image which society has of an artist by portraying himself in a register that is reminiscent of a prisoner, criminal or terrorist.
