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.

'Books, newspapers, magazines, files, papers. Printed paper. I redistribute it with a different outlook. It is approached in the opposite manner: I don't write a book, but rework it into an image uncharged with words. Parallel to the action of writing, I develop the action of cutting, by which the paper gets cut into strokes that - edges folded upwards - are glued together and pressed into a tablet that recovers the original size of the particular book used. Free of meaning and textual context, the word is only placed on the surface as a trace. This reworking I call "dead letters.".'  (Denmark)
