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.

Autobiography, 1970

Collection: Galerie Michael Werner, Märkisch Wilmersdorf, Cologne and New York.

"Maybe the complete autobiography could be one sentence, I don’t know but just arbitrarily in this instance I have many pages and I would… I think that the autobiography and the process of arriving at it is very related to the idea of the connectedness of people. I think that our consciousness and our existence is more connected than we generally perceive. What is memory for example? What does memory mean? How is it that I can come with an idea like the airplane and many people understand this. Does everyone know everything already, I don’t know. How do you find out something fresh? How do you understand that this could be important?" - James Lee Byars
