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.

Inconsolable: The Giver of Hope at Revolution Square, 2014

In the round a space two new works are premiered as a joint installation: the sound piece Twelve Positions in a Dream (2014, a collaboration with the composer Jonny Dav) and the video Inconsolable: The Giver of Hope (2014). Both are based on sensorial impressions from the Circle Line on the Moscow Metro: sound, touch, vision. The film shows passers-by stealthily caressing the nose of a bronze dog – for luck and consolation. It has become part of urban mythology that one of the dogs in the sculptural ensemble at the Ploshchad’ revolyutsii (Revolution Square) station has powers that transcend its bronze-ness and even its dog-ness. The sound is a montage of sounds recorded in the subway.
