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.

A final Archaeopteryx answers to the name Boula Matari.

'And it's no accident that it was also my first little chicken that could really walk.' - Panamarenko

The name literally means 'breaker of rocks', and was a nickname of the central-African explorer Henry Morton Stanley (°1841-1904).

'A real macho man who trekked through the bush with a bible in one hand and a rifle in the other.  More than half his soldiers were felled by strange illnesses and infections, but that Stanley just kept on scouting around.  That's why I called my little archaeopteryx Boula Matari, because it's such a Courageous Strider!' - Panamarenko
