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.

Erdtelephon was one of Beuys’ first works to be shown at Antwerp’s Wide White Space gallery. With Erdtelephon, Beuys wanted to show how matter can be utilised and it they can subsequently initiate mental processes. A telephone does not only convert electroacoustic signals: in so doing so, it also provides for the exchange of information between two sentient beings. By connecting the telephone to a lump of earth, Beuys suggested that interactions between nature and technology could aid creative thinking.
