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.

EURASIENSTAB. 82 min fluxorum organum was first performed in 1967, in Vienna. On February 9, 1968, Joseph Beuys' and musician Henning Christiansen's iconic action took place at Wide White Space gallery in Antwerp, where it was also recorded on 16mm film. Beuys performs a ritual for symbolically reuniting the four winds of Eurasia, seeking to reconcile Asian spirituality with European rationality. To bring these seemingly opposing energies in balance he uses the Eurasienstab, a long staff made of copper. The staff, used by the priest, the shepherd and the shaman alike, is a recurring motif in Beuys’ work, and occasionally with a walking stick as a surrogate.
