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.

O som no ar [The Sound in the Air] is an abstract attempt to visualize bats’ sonar sounds. In the video the rodents’ [chiroptera] echolocation sounds are represented by a network of metal cables. These form an irregular drawing which maps the surface of the acrylic screen, while also being reflected throughout the exhibition space. Inside of the acrylic structure there is a sheet of paper which absorbs the projected lines of the video, as if retaining the trace or memory of the mapping process.
