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.

Der gläserne Mensch, 1935
Postcard from the exhibition Das Wunder des Lebens
Collection M HKA, Antwerp

This postcard shows The Transparent Man also known as 'Der Träger des Lebens' (‘The Bearer of Life’), which was the main attraction of the lavishly designed Das Wunder des Lebens – a propaganda exhibition that took place in Berlin in 1935. The main idea of the exhibition was purely eugenicist – on both the protection of the physical body from diseases through the latest achievements of modern hygiene, and the maintenance of the so-called 'body' of German folk with the help of 'racial hygiene'. Within a few years, The Transparent Man became the symbol of German-specific understanding of man and health. It also served as a centrepiece to the traveling version of The Miracle of Life exhibition presented in Antwerp in 1936.
