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.

Produced at the same time as Singing Cloud, Untitled takes the form of a flap-board, used traditionally to announce arrivals and departures. The 29 characters of the board’s display generate a series of short lines that change every few seconds. The texts appear in an open and associative style, changing rhythmically rather than randomly. Written by the artist, the lines also reference readings and exchanges Gupta had with scientists, philosophers and historians on the divisive nature of information media. (NH)
