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.

Inserções em circuitos ideológicos. Projeto Coca-Cola, 1970

Object, Diameter: 6cm, Height: 25cm (each bottle).

Collection: Collection MACBA, Barcelona (Inv. no. 1882).

It is against the backdrop of the military dictatorship in Brazil that Meireles’ Inserções em circuitos ideológicos (insertions into ideological circuits) must be viewed: images and/or messages printed on such widely circulating objects.

For the same series Insertions into Ideological circuits, Meireles used bank notes and stamped on them the question “Who killed Herzog?”, referring to a journalist who had been tortured and murdered by the police in Brazil.
