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.

In this series of images within the larger Portraits of the Artist series, Jan Vercruysse uses the declension of the Latin word “rosa” next to the word “rota”, which means wheel of fortune or fate.

The work consists of five parts: two framed prints on canvas, a framed photolithographic on paper, an empty frame and a framed mirror.

Each individual element is framed, giving the elements a defined space. The use of frames plays an important part in the making of an image. By using various frames, sometimes multiple frames in one frame, several stratifications can be made apparent.
