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.

Danae Stratou

In 1988 Danae Stratou graduated from Central St Martins College of Art and Design in London, where she studied fine arts. In 1997, the group D.A.St. was created by the artist together with architect S. Konstantinidis and industrial designer A. Stratou. They created Desert Breath, a 100,000m2 land art project in El Gouna, Egypt. In 2010 she cofounded the non-profit organisation Vital Space, a global interdisciplinary, cross-media art platform involved with vital issues of our epoch.

Danou her interest lies in land art installations, using materials such as water, earth, steel, or glass, but also other mediums such as video, sound and audiovisual presentations, with the aim to affect the viewer’s inner rhythms and feelings, to activate all the senses and to thus succeed in involving the viewer in the art work.  She has presented her work in solo and group exhibitions in Greece and abroad (Venice Biennale, 1999, Valencia Biennale, 2001, Thessaloniki Biennale, 2007 et al.).
