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.

Literary synopsis

'The brother of William Butler Yeats has something of the poet in his nature if this exquisite, rather fragmentary Irish tale is a sample. A kaleidescopic picture ranging from 1860 to the present, beginning with two jolly good fellows, Thady and Jasper, in the coaching business, who find life a royal road to romance. There is little of plot -- simply a gay stopping down through the lives of successive generations -- sparkling, refreshingly different, charming -- but limited in appeal.'
