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.

Thirty-Three Stories about Reasonable Characters in Familiar Places, 2012

The multi-faceted installation Thirty-Three Stories about Reasonable Characters in Familiar Places functions like a book written in three dimensions. It is an installation in three parts – the first containing a book of stories, the second a set of different objects and videos that act as an epilogue to the book, and the third an index on a text panel. The installation provides a set of fragments of experiences, individuals, emotions and locations, but significantly without any key markers of identification for allowing any kind of specificity. It is a set-up suggesting we pursue more complex understandings of place based on our relationship to it, allowing for the incidental, the poetic and the personal. (NH)
