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.

Ensemble: DRIFTWOOD SCULPTURES

Els Dietvorst collects natural objects that wash up on the shore. She makes paintings of them, with bistre. She fashions driftwood into a tree, or works on it with a burner. The burnt lines on these wooden sculptures depict people or animals. Dietvorst collects, treats and admires what nature has to offer. Her rituals lend a new function to existing matter and cast it in a different light. Just as Dietvorst shows in her video work, that she respects people and invites them to look at her in a different way, so too, in her recent work, she shows appreciation for our environment. Nature is to be nurtured and respected. As human beings we are but part of a larger whole and everything is connected.
