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.

"In 1963 Broodthaers is ready to make the transition from poet/photographer to visual artist, clearing the way for the object to take its place next to photography and in part replace it. In the creation of both ready-mades and photo’s, the artist depends on existing objects. Broodthaers emphasizes this link between ready-made and photography in Portrait de Maria avec Statif , 1967. In it he combines a mirrored and enlarged photo, printed on canvas, of Maria Gilissen with a camera, with a real tripod. Although Broodthaers was interested in subjective photography, which attempts to reign in the dominance of the object while increasing the input of the artist, his objects did not possess the ‘indifference’ which Duchamp claimed to aim for – yet they also weren’t the autonomous creations of an artist genius. They were the result of a clash between the artist and the existing world of objects, codes and institutions."
