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.

Nimbo Oxalá

Nimbo Oxalá was performed at the opening of A RUA, on 6th October 2011. 20 participants (including the artist himself), dressed in white, created a cloud with fire extinguishers.

Ronald Duarte is an adept of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé. The performance is a homage to the orixá Oxalá. At A RUA, the yellow light was also a homage to another orixá, Oxum.
