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.

The poster shows a close up of a photo taken on the 6th of may, 1994. You can see the hands of François Mitterand and Queen Elisabeth whilst cutting the official ribbon, opening the channel under the North Sea, connecting France to Great Britain (et vice versa).It depicts a ritualised ceremony, that we all recognize just by looking at the scissors and the ribbons. The cutting itself represents more than an opening of a tunnel, it represents the connection between two countries and the therefore is turned into a political event that links back to an age old rivalry between the two countries. It is one of those pictures that can be read on many different levels, depending on you own knowledge of history and politics and thus proving the statement that perception requires involvement.
