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.

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK7216).

Location I is a model of a deserted crossroad, a "somewhere-anywhere-place ', shrouded in night-blue light. Everything there is death and orphaned. There is no traffic out there, but still the trafficlights function as if nothing is wrong. Location I is the mise-en-scene of a non-event: nothing happens. Time seems to stand still. Hans De Beeck shows the intense alienation of a place where suddenly all life is gone, making him portray the absurdity of existence, human powerlessness.
