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.

San Diego: we stand before the Salt Lake Institute, a major centre for stem cell research, housed in a beautiful building by the American star architect Louis Kahn. The building itself is not visible. Koen van den Broek photographs the shadow play. He falls for the beauty of the simple trough that splits the square symmetrically in two and that allows water to flow into the ocean over a long distance: a reference to the Yellow borders that are a theme in the work of Koen van den Broek. The link with Rimsky-Korsakov's opera Sadko is in the suspected presence of a port, and the main character’s relentless quest for a way across the water to find a connection with the mainland.
