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.

In the installation Autorretrato. Estrectura. Informe, 9.6.72, Burga presents a series of diagrams and medical documents that demonstrate a scientific approach to her own identity. Here she submits herself, her body and her face, to the depersonalized logic of a measurement. The installation is subdivided into three domains, 'Informe rostro', 'Informe corazón' and 'Informe sangre' (report of face, heart and blood). These reports show the information collected on the date given in the piece's title. The project is not only an ironic reflection on the traditional notion of the self-portrait, but also criticizes processes that are intent on to standardising the individual.
