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 title Reach, Grasp, Move, Position, Apply Force lists four of the nine basic motions of Methods-Time Measurement. This managerial discipline was developed in the late 1940s by researchers in the US, who used 16mm film cameras to record the motions of factory workers. The film focuses on the goods and services used in making the work. Examples and testimonies range from the factories in China where her digital equipment was made to the freelance translators she employed to subtitle the film. ‘The film reveals its own working conditions. But it is also about the relation to time in film and hence about the negotiation between the audience and the film itself.’
