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.

Like a religious icon, the shape of a hand floats in heavenly gold, covered, at a slight angle, by the outline of the hand etched into the glass – squashed between the two hands are two flies. The piece recalls the saying; “Two flies in one clap” [Two birds with one stone].

The title refers to an illuminated page, the collection of poems by Rimbaud Illuminations, and in particular the ‘Voyelles’ sonnet where Rimbaud speaks of ‘des mouches éclatantes.’
