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.

Is the brain the most sexy part of the body?, 2007

Performance

2007

Boston, Harvard University

In this film the scientist Edward O. Wilson and the artist Jan Fabre are put across each other. Their respective domains must reach a consilience to better understand the brain and the beauty. 

 

'Am I a simple soul?
Because my brain does not yet feel
what my heart can already think?
Is it true that the brain
is the most sexy part of the body?
Today's performance with
the entomologist and biologist
Edward O. Wilson
was a search for the consilience
between the sciences and art.
(There is an arrow through my brain!)'

(Jan Fabre, Boston, 17 November 2006)
