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.

Ways of Seeing is a four-part television series written by British art critic John Berger. After being broadcast in 1972, the series became a book of the same name. The television serie was intended as a response to Civilisation, a documentary series that represents a traditional vision of the Western artistic and cultural canon. In Ways of Seeing, Berger argues that our perception is always influenced by assumptions about beauty, truth, civilisation, shape, taste, class and gender. What we see has to do with knowledge, belief and the relationship between ourselves and our environment, elements that are constantly changing. For him, looking at an image objectively seems impossible, because we always try to read the image's language.
