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.

Josef Dabernig

° 1956

Born in Kötschach-Mauthen (Austria).

Josef Dabernig (Austria, 1956) is a prime example of how artists use the moving image, both film and video, in ways that are both narrative and sculptural. His films are often black-and-white, evoking the insecure, ‘transitional’ reality of the post-communist countries closest to Austria (the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia). Many of them obliquely comment on social structures that go beyond the inter-personal, and they may therefore be read as ‘illustrations’ or ‘allegories’ of Big Society, as it is reflected in the small (sometimes even obsessive) details of the everyday.
