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.

Beuys performed it during a Fluxus festival in 1966 at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts. Beuys’ aim with this action was to highlight the pharmaceutical scandal surrounding thalidomide. This drug caused serious birth defects in children whose mother took it during pregnancy. The felt cover silences the grand piano, indicating the potential dangers should we remain silent.
