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.

Malson (‘nightmare’  in Catalan) is a work from the series I Read It with Golden Fingers, which consists of books read by García with hands covered with golden dust. And while a book might impress (albeit metaphorically) the reader, the opposite also becomes feasible: the physical gestures inherent in the act of reading leave an imprint in the form of golden traces left while holding the book and turning the pages. Existing between the tangible (and the gold adds to its materiality) and the performative, Malson also brings together different temporalities, including that of a viewer.
