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.

Language Gulf In the Shouting Valley, 2013

Installation

Language Gulf In the Shouting Valley is drawn from his project The Aural Contract, an ongoing investigation into the relation between voice and law. The work brings together recordings from the Shouting Valley (in the Golan Heights on the border of Israel/Palestine and Syria), which document the practice of shouting across national jurisdictions to friends and family, and an interview with sociologist Lisa Hajjar. Ending with the recording of the Nakbar protests when in 2011 Syrian protesters crossed the border and met with protesters from the other side, the work speaks about the power of language and how it is suppressed under conditions of colonisation.
