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. BK007450).

Newspaper cutouts, fragments of texts, bills, fantasy lands, logos, calligraphies, stamps, humans and animals, collected from the reservoir of our everyday life, are the things that Toon Tersas shows us. However, he subjects these things to an additional edit, by representing them in a nigh-impossible way. With his techniques, Tersas defies all ideas and methods known to us: he employs the signs of pop-art, of dada, of the collagists, but through the absence of a 'grand gesture' and the effect of delay caused by the laborious act of copying, he creates extra space for reflection.

- Mat Verbekt on Toon Tersas, translated from Dutch in De wereld als een kiosk, of: hoe schrijft een autodidact zijn leven, in the publication Toon Tersas, 1997
