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.

"In the first period I started, although I was already physically dealing with the print, very emphatically from photography. Also, my work was viewed exclusively in photographic circles. I limited myself to the portrait and in a sense, in so doing I locked myself up in photography. But the gaze of the portrayed was too determinant. So I did very consciously turn away from the gaze and made a series of portraits without eye contact, it were photographs where the gaze was literally averted. Precisely the absence of that contact became the subject of the photographs."
