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.

MASSIMO GRIMALDI

©image: M HKA

° 1974

Born in Italy, lives in Milan (Italy).

Much of Massimo Grimaldi’s artistic practice holds up a mirror to the economies in place for producing and circulating images in western mass media, particularly towards our mediated relationship to foreign, underprivileged, ‘other’ cultures. It engages directly in sanctioned activities that intervene in the lives of victims of crisis and exploitation in places such as sub-Saharan Africa, Cambodia and Afghanistan, looking to foreground the usually suppressed ethics of such intervention, as well as of so-called ‘poverty journalism’. Whilst considering the role of artists and the limitations of art, Grimaldi has invented a possibility for art to have a profound effect on people’s lives. (NH)
