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.

Chinatown Voyeur, 1971

Video, 00:60:00.

Collection: M HKA / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK7760_M487).

Chinatown Voyeur is not the result of an intervention but exists in its own right and shows Chinatown in New York from sunset to sunrise. The skyline is alternated with zoomed-in images of windows, thus giving you a view of certain interiors. These seemingly voyeuristic images refer to early memories. Matta-Clark claimed that his first contact with other people did not take place on the street but from window to window. There is a clear parallel here with Hitchcock’s Rear Window.
