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.

Jenny Holzer

° 1950

Born in Gallipolis, Ohio (United States), lives in Hoosick Falls, New York (United States).

Jenny Holzer (1950, US, lives in New York) visualises language as an instrument of political and psychological manipulation. Her use of language is inspired by commercial advertising and ‘political technology’. Yet instead of enhancing the visibility of products or candidates for election, Holzer voices feminist concerns and addresses other moral or legal issues. Her messages appear in public space: projected onto walls, engraved on benches, printed on T-shirts.
