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.

This work is one of the first in which Koen van den Broek clearly chooses a strong figurative element. We can just about make out a human figure walking off. Only the shadow betrays the nature of the encounter. Again, the artist incorporates a stylized representation of the crowned Agnes Sorel figure, the eternal mistress. It can be interpreted as a snapshot from Handel's baroque opera Agrippina, which revolves around a tangle of royal intrigue.
