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. BK7611_M382).

Kalpetran is the title of this autobiographical work: a photograph of the artist donning folkloric alpine attire while searching for a particular stone that he was carrying around as a child one day during a holiday with his parents in the Swiss Grächen. Colson had been forced to leave this stone behind, and this performance shows him trying to retrieve this talismanic trace of a long-lost innocence – the philosopher’s stone which may well have put him on his way towards becoming an artist.
