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.

James Brown is Dead (ARTERS* N° 148), 2016, is from a series of works using the acronym ARTERS, which stands for: achats à répétition, tentatives d'épuisement, reconstitutions de stocks (meaning: repetitive purchases, attempts to exhaust stocks, replenish stocks). The installation brings together two different collections, firstly of many copies of the 12” House record James Brown is Dead by the Dutch group LA Style from 1991, alongside which he displays a large collection of unemployment slips that would typically be given to unemployed Belgians. The works look to describe the psychological paradox of wanting to refuse to participate in the capitalist system, yet simultaneously desiring collectable objects.
