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.

Published in the catalogue for the exhibition On taking a normal situation and retranslating it into overlapping and multiple readings of conditions past and present at M HKA, Antwerp, 1993

Editor’s Note

In the autumn of this year Jimmie Durham, who has posed variously as an artist, a theoretical biologist, and as an international gardener, was detained under suspicion by the authorities at Antwerp Airport. Durham was found attempting to enter the city carrying sheets of dried pulp made from trees, upon which he allegedly had made certain markings. The following text, deciphered by the Bureau of Egress, was delivered to the Museum by the Bureau of Foreign Documents. The Museum does not claim authenticity for the text; certainly it does not contain the original markings made by Durham.
