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.

The Creative Hitler Act (an allusion to Duchamp’s The Creative Act) is concerned with the artist as dictator. Jan Fabre adapts pages and phrases from fairytales, generating new meanings. The artist as individualist determines the language he uses.

 

'Performed 'The Creative Hitler Act' today.

My response to Marcel Duchamp's

legendary lecture 'The Creative Act'.

Confusion prevailed.

The brains went haywire and their

underbelly was emty.

Interpretations went in some horrible directions.

(I permitted it with laughing eyes

and an angry mouth.)'

(Jan Fabre, Milwaukee, 7 November 1980)
