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.

Guy Rombouts always explores the implicit sensitivity of all types of found materials, on the lookout for the visual/sculptural potentialities of script. He develops ‘writings’ where form and content coincide in as exemplary a manner as possible. The installation Leegte is vorm (Emptiness is Form), that Rombouts made for an exhibition at the artists’ forum Factor 44, is a good example here. The 26 colorful shopping bags from which this work is constituted, in each case contains a found object that represents a certain letter of the alphabet, beginning with ‘amfoor’ (amphora) and ending with ‘zeef’ (sieve). In this way Rombouts makes a concrete, sculptural and more intuitive variant of our alphabet.
