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.

The Dangers of Petrification II, 1998-2007

Installation, variable dimensions.

"The Dangers of Petrification is another new piece(...) which pretends to be a scientific collection of objects that have been petrified. I am a little hesitant about it, because most people nowadays have little knowledge about the real world. In fact, lately I’ve found that most people do not know that the process of petrification even exists, and that the cliché “petrified with fear” has led them to think that the word petrified relates only to a state of fear."
