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, Antwerp.

In architecture a corbel is a bracket used to support an architectural element above it. The term comes from Old French, meaning the diminutive of the word for 'crow'. In Jimmie Durham’s Architexture, the Corbel is made of black papier-mâché, a bird-like sculpture placed in the intersection between a beam or wall and the ceiling, as if ready to fly away and free itself from architecture.
