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.

Weber creates here a work that focuses on the role of body and gesture when designing a public space and has collaborated with Indian artist Palash Mondal who is based at Santiniketan to produce a clay figure of a monkey a pile of books contemplating a skull. This work refers obliquely to Kafka’s short story An Account for an Academy by Kafka in which a monkey gives Ape gives a lecture with its reference to a history of European colonisation of Asia and Africa.
