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 iron form was cast from a plaster implement lined with felt, originally used as a therapeutic backrest to treat bone deformities in young children. The title suggests an alternate function and a new user, ‘a Fine-Limbed Person (Hare-Type) of the 20th Century A.D.’ In Beuys’ oeuvre the hare’s behaviour represents potential models for human conduct. Especially the agility, energy, dynamism and flexibility associated with a hare are vital preconditions for social creativity and progress. The iron backrest provides a safe position from which to carry out this progress.
