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.

Antonakos starts to use neon from the beginning of the 1960s – a material which thereafter takes on a protagonistic role in his oeuvre. The work White Cube with Blue and Red Neon (1982) is one of the first to signal a change in the way the artist uses this particular material, seeing as for the first time, the neon tubes are placed in such a way that they are not visible. The ambient light, like a halo or an aura around the silhouette of the object, imparts a spiritual quality to the work.  

The way the work is placed in the space, plus the relationship between the work and the viewer is of primary importance, as is the case for most of Antonakos’ work.
