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.

This series of works is the core of Kifleyesus’ socially engaged practice, produced in international telephone cabins around Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. Many are produced using folded paper posters and advertisements that portray some of the world’s most renowned and photogenic celebrities of western culture. Yet, following their exposure to the daily flow of visitors to the cabin, their images become slowly obliterated, often to the point of unrecognisability. Images of idealised beauty are erased by the build-up from the combined abstract mark-making of many. (NH)
