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.

Evervess II, 1968

Multiple, 27 x 16.5 x 9.5 cm.

Collection: Private collection.

The word ‘Evervess’ is derived from ‘effervescence’, referring to carbonation, a process which changes the state of a liquid, giving it an almost animate quality.

The work is made up of two soda bottles, placed next to each other in a wooden container. The label on one of the bottles is covered by patches of grey felt. The cover of the piece gives instructions to the user on how the multiple should be activated.

If the owner of the multiple wishes to maintain the integrity of the piece, the energy inside can be tapped into through the felt patches.

Edition: 40, not signed, not numbered
