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.

 MASS, 2009, is a sound system that began life through the replicating of the original ‘Cave Crew’ speaker stacks, then continued to grow via donations of its different components from the public. Resembling the mass of speakers that would typically be used for rave parties, the sound system takes on a more physical presence when exhibited in a gallery space. The work is reconfigured differently whenever it is exhibited, acting as a sculptural metaphor for the people brought together in congregation.
