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.

By focusing on an enlarged snowflake cut from a solid piece of crystal, Sone seems to want to purify nature from all humanity. The wonderful symmetry of a frozen molecule is all that remains. The intriguing aspect of this work, according to the curator, is its smallness and the crystallised sense of detail, with which the work expands and transcends itself. It is perfect in all its simplicity, but simultaneously also presents an over-attention to detail. The tension in this work is visibly present: the solidified form of something fluid, expressed in never-melting crystal.
