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.

JUHA PEKKA MATIAS LAAKKONEN

° 1982

Born in Finland, lives in Helsinki and Skövde (Finland).

Juha Pekka Matias Laakkonen’s art aims at a zero-degree of visibility, where a spiritual reward might be expected. Some of his works are meticulous exercises that take place with no one else present and can therefore only be validated by their author. He may choose to let us know about them or he may tell us nothing. Other works yield carefully crafted objects as traces of his action. (AK)
