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.

Ensemble: Perfection

"I have never done a perfect thing and I am aware of the questionability of the notion of perfection of an idea that I perceive or of the idea of pure ideas."

Only in our minds we can form an idea of something that is perfect. Byars is conscious of the fact that he will never be able to make 'the perfect' into something tangible. Nevertheless, we must understand his art as a manifestation of his ideas about perfection. His art visually represents his quest and simultaneously reminds us of the notion, that perfection cannot be made palpable.
