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.

Bart Prinsen’s installation works focus on architecture and the urban landscape, and how its transformation and erasure relates to our experience of place and memory. Made using metal rod, they appear like floating drawing or blueprints of city zones. His new work Point of Convergence, made for the exhibition, depicts a certain area of a crossroads in Antwerp that Prinsen is familiar with, a particular landmark that has been partially erased and reconstructed over time, combining layers old and new. The ‘exploded’ view elucidates how different surfaces and layers come together to form our habitat. The title of the installation not only refers to this type of view, and it being a junction for traffic, but also to the fleeting incidents, interactions and encounters constantly taking place within our everyday urban reality.
