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.

"I would like to make an object. A sculptured thing that is part sculpture and part contraption, that would be pleasing to look at and also pleasing to operate, to use. (...) It wants to be built specifically for some corner in Gent, so that it fits the corner of the building and is (temporarily) attached to the building and completely takes the space, to the curb of the street. One cannot walk around it. One side is an open door that has a turnstile, a sort of revolving door. Above the door, in several languages, large, bright lettering read: YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE. The other side reads: GO BACK, RECONSIDER." [Jimmie Durham, December 1999]
