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 FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Rheims.

One of the pieces presented at the exhibition Architexture in Antwerp in 1994 was Paradigm for an Arch. It was the first time Durham would challenge the concept of the monumental arch (it later became a series with Arc de Triomphe for Personal Use), arranging pieces of wood, plastic, other materials and objects on the floor in the form of an arch. The shapes used on one side mirror the ones on the other side and each segment is labeled with a piece of paper with a name on it.
