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.

Manguinhos, 2011

Installation

Manguinhos is a multi-media installation referring to Jorge Mario Jáuregui’s project in the Manguinhos Complex, an agglomeration of favelas in Rio. His architectural proposal consisted of elevating a train line which separated the community in two parts and creating in its place a “rambla”.

On the floor, you will see a groundplan of Rocinha, the biggest favela in Brazil. Explore Jáuregui’s project in Rocinha and read recent news about Rocinha’s “pacification”.

Read more about the favelas in Rio and the recent developments in the text bellow and in Dieter Roelstraete's (curator of A RUA) interview with Jorge Mario Jáuregui.
