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.

During the action Das Schweigen von Marcel Duchamp wird überbewertet from 1964, Joseph Beuys wore his renowned outfit – jeans, fisherman’s vest and felt hat – and used his 'Braunkreuz'-paint mixed with chocolate together with these brushes to write the words of the title on a placard. The action was broadcast live on German television. It was Beuys’ way to criticise Duchamp for his decision to withdraw from the art world and devote himself to chess. According to Beuys, in so doing, Duchamp ran away from the responsibility of engaging himself from the social and political responsibility of being an artist.
