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: Private Collection.

This edition is based on a large sculpture outside the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The original Puppy is a 12 metres high sculpture made of steel and live flowers. This representation of a West Highland terrier opens up the dialogue between the organic and the inorganic. Both past and present are evoked in the original sculpture, which references an 18th century formal garden, but is made using advanced computer modelling.

Puppy PP1 was created as an edition when the giant sculpture was placed in the forecourt of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 1998.
