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.

Memorial Cola, 2001

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. S0310).

Memorial Cola, a multiple from 2001, is a found object that shows that a twist of fate can render innocent reality painfully absurd. The work consists of two bottles of fizzy drink, coke and diet coke, with the label showing a view of the New York skyline with the Twin Towers. Körmeling positions the bottles alongside one another like twin towers, as a sort of remembrance of 9/11/ (This type of bottle is no longer on sale.)
