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.

I was working for a public projects office, the Provincial Technical Service in Liège – roads, sewers, waterworks, topography… In this reservoir of things and activities I found a contrarian response to what people were calling “everyday reality” and putting up for exhibition in galleries. I was dealing with everyday documents, which didn’t have the seductiveness of materials from the so-called urban landscape. The coldness of the professional documents was corrosive. As early as 1963 I had the idea of showing these photographic documents with their certificate of origin and purpose, but it was only in 1971 that the work was shown in MTL gallery in Brussels.
