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.

“Maria Thereza’s father (...) had the idea a couple of years ago to sell polished Brazilian semi-precious (oh, how I love that term!) stones in New York. He sent some to Maria Thereza to make photographs but then gave up the project, so I got some of the stones and used four of them in a work I made for the Reg Vardy Auto Sales Gallery. Those four stones really were only to illustrate (in a non-illustrative way) a text which was the printed version of a speech I gave in Porto Alegre (“Happy Port”) Brazil, earlier in 2005, at the World Social Forum.” [full text here]
