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.

Italian School consists of a number of staged photographs which depict performances of biblical scenes, enacted by children living in a youth detention centre. The children are surrounded by symbols unfamiliar to them, and through their ignorance, seem to be victims of the game. Both the strong contrasts between light and dark and the theatricality of the pictures subtly refer to the work of Italian baroque painter Caravaggio (1571-1610). Caravaggio made use of chiaroscuro and had homeless city dwellers model for the biblical figures on his paintings— not unlike Bratkov did for Italian School.
