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.

Working on almost all the walls in the exhibition space, Alexander Lee has provided a visual setting for ‘A Temporary Futures Institute’ that references the Polynesian territory
of Hawaii as the environment where Professor Jim Dator elaborated his ‘four futures’.

Te fanau’a ‘una’una nā te Tumu: The Sentinels, 2017, unites Oceanian motifs: the sea itself; the leaf of the breadfruit tree, transplanted from Tahiti to feed the slaves on Caribbean plantations; the atomic mushroom cloud. The title also alludes to a Tahitian priest’s prediction of the arrival of new people from across the ocean.
