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.

IMAN ISSA

° 1979

Born in Cairo (Egypt), lives in New York (United States), lives in Cairo (Egypt).

Iman Issa’s practice seeks to pick out experiences of the personal from the collective. Her narrative-based works function through taking stories out of the specificity of a context, and opening them up to the associative potential of the viewer. Combining sculpture, photography, text, sound and video, Issa wishes to privilege the subjective, giving deliberate anonymity to the places, events and characters she portrays, allowing people to bring something personal to these things that seem as though they come from elsewhere. The components of her installations are characteristically both abstract and familiar – an aesthetic facet that forms a sort of democratic offer for producing new narratives. (NH)
