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 Right One: Pearls of Revolution is a series of photographs that borrow the glamorous visual appearance of glossy fashion advertisements, but the images, featuring the feminist sociologist and activist Jana Šarinić, have not been digitally edited. Each photograph shows a slightly different frame of the model’s face as she rehearses the gesture of the partisan salute to determine which one matches ‘the right one’ as executed in a small archival photograph of Yugoslav women partisans. The model’s made-up face and the string of pearls she holds in her hand while trying to match the partisan salute create an contradictory situation that asks about the commodification of critical action and the idea of artistic autonomy today.
