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.

The Swing (After Fragonard), 2009

All this is shown very clearly in the video documenting the performance The Swing (After Fragonard). Dressed in white and sitting on a swing suspended from a highway flyover, Kukama swung leisurely back and forth, dropping banknotes onto the street below, where people quickly scrambled for them. Perhaps it was poetic justice that the swing broke and she fell to the same inferior level, painfully breaking her leg. (AK)
