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.

Heart in Heart, 2004

Sculpture, variable dimensions.

Collection: National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (Inv. no. 642/09).

Heart in Heart is formed of two intertwined bodies of texts that were transferred onto organza ribbon. The computer code for Linux kernel files drapes from the higher meat hook. These kernel files are the ‘heart’ of the operating system. Twenty-two love letters from Kanarek’s narrative World of Awe drape from the second meat hook. These love letters are written by a Traveler in a parallel world to a Lover in the common world. Both the Traveler and the Lover remain anonymous. The Traveler’s letters speak of longing and nostalgia. ​Heart in Heart is a meditation on the embodiment of narratives and their transformation once dislocated. Inquiry into the embodiment of language is a central theme in Yael Kanarek’s practice.
