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.

Light Sculpture in the garden of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp, 1996.

As part of his studies at the HISK, Roelandt experimented extensively with light, colour and space. The fact that he also taught colourimetry as a subject at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp was reflected in these works from the 90s. He taped the windows of his studio with transparent Congo blue foil, stacked television sets either emitting (displaying) static or displaying the colours red, green and blue, displayed his signature, signed in light, combined 12 white fluorescent tubes at different colour temperatures in a single installation, put together a bouquet of green fluorescent tubes, and so on and so forth.
