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 1971, Panamarenko returns to the P.A.T. theme in the design for Stepstraal.  The device consists of a tubular frame to which two propeller-motors are attached, and has two foot-supports for the pilot, who during flight remains standing upright.  The drawing again shows a hydrogen-peroxide fueled rocket.  When the fluid is expelled under high pressure, two 'streams' are visible behind the pilot. 

'The name 'Stepstraal' is really a combination to indicate 'stepping on' and 'jetting-away'...' - Panamarenko
