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.

Collection: Stad Antwerpen, in langdurige bruikleen in M HKA (Inv. no. SCA0032).

Drawing on history as his main source of inspiration, Guy Woueté (b. 1980, Douala, Cameroon) wants to shape a new future in which we can see and understand each other in different ways. With his video works, drawings, paintings and installations, he hopes to trigger thought processes on social issues and migration in our globalised world. Terre & Visages, a series of ten self-portraits, explores the iconography and stereotypes that emerged in the wake of the ‘civilising missions’ as a cultural justification for colonisation. Woueté wonders how to portray himself, given that any representation is imbued with the coloniser’s gaze and, consequently, power.
