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.

Olga's Notes, 2013

Installation, 400 x 400 cm.

Collection: Courtesy of the artist.

Olga’s Notes takes as its starting point the Egyptian left-wing magazine Al Hilal (‘The Crescent’), published in the 1950s and ʼ60s, and important for its contributions to socialist theory and for its literary essays and translations. Published in a turbulent period of modernisation, the magazine reflects the ideological and social change that occurred at the time. To rethink the role of reading in the formation of subjectivity, and especially what people were allowed and encouraged to read, Arsanios has created a library for Ten thousand wiles and a hundred thousand tricks that includes material relating to Al Hilal. This library is also the scene of a performance composed of excerpts from the magazine and other related texts.
