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.

Agathe Snow is born in Corsica, but lives and works in New York. Via her work she shapes her fascination for her own surrounding (‘Lower East Side’) as well as the collective nature of society: she organises 24-hour dance- marathons and cooks in the street for hundreds of people. Aside from these events, she creates sculptures where she tries to depict society.

The Humpty Dance is a sculpture alluding to the crucifixion of Christ. The crucified Christ is not only mounted unstable (due to the wheel he is swayed in all directions), he is also wearing a gasmask. With this work, Snow tries to depict the unstable and contaminated environment and society. The materials she uses to create the sculpture give the viewer a sense of “DIY”. The objects are usually given by friends, or found in the streets close to home.
