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.

This work originated during the action Infiltration Homogen für Konzertflügel, der größte Komponist der Gegenwart ist das Contergankind, performed by Joseph Beuys in 1966 during a Fluxus festival at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts. With his action, Beuys wanted to highlight the pharmaceutical scandal surrounding thalidomide, a drug that caused serious birth defects in children whose mother took it during pregnancy. Beuys silences a grand piano by coating it with felt. The work seeks to indicate the danger that occurs when we remain silent. Infiltration Homogen für Konzertflügel was exhibited at Wide White Space in 1970.
