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. BK7610_M381).

You Used To Be Part Of Something (2005): a giant pink slice of styrofoam pie mounted on top of the wooden crate in which it travels, this sculpture is in fact part of a whole set of twelve pieces (multiples) scattered across the globe – a totality (“something”) that, in all likelihood, is never going to be regained. The work also operates as a cheerful jibe at the omnipresent aesthetic of the pie diagram as a (necessarily impoverished) symbol of societal cohesion.
