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.

Tapis gris pour cinq personnes was first activated during "SaltoArte", the performative opening night of the exhibition "Je/Nous.Wij/Ik" (Museum van Elsene, Brussels, 23 May - 13 July 1975). At this groupexhibition, two works by Nicola were shown; La Chambre en Fourrure, which was first shown in 1970 in the Galleria Apollinaire in Milano, and in the basement Nicola placed four banners on two poles, as if for a demonstration. The banners each contain a sentence: Nous voulons voir [we want to see], Nous voulons sentir [we want to smell], Nous voulons entendre [we want to hear], Nous voulons toucher [we want to touch]. The stylised heads seem to want to get their message across by wriggling with great difficulty through the canvas.
