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 two films selected for this exhibition can credibly be described as themed around the ‘care of the self’ that the welfare regime allows – indeed requires – its subjects to perform, in this case leisurely inactivity and physical exercise. Dabernig’s own production notes provide the key to his intentions: ‘Hotel Roccalba holds the level of meaning construction in suspense. It remains unclear what unites or separates the twelve persons in this film. Their simple activity or non-activity delegates questions about more profound meaning to the audience.’
