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.

Transcription: 

"“,,How do you do with mystery”,, Perfect Patrick where’s a poetic note from you? Hoping you are just very fine in some romantic new sheer idea let me do a metaphysical for you Put a little gold dust on your window ledge (no need just breath) and invite Flor and Yves and Daled and Isy and just blow a tiny breath up at it. A very delicate way too open my show at Gent in 81 we sho travel and do a show together Love B “,, write to me soon”,,

You re ah fuck whats the use is still such a fine show. I need it. often. I feel like showing “,, come on”,, the voice is still so attractive maybe at Gent I will do it live in front of the museum no its better with no obvious place to go. I still Love “,,what”,, so sweet Patrick write maybe by may I can get back to Antwerp I’ll love to see you. Be well Hello to lily and Leslie"
