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 Newborns, 1979

The Newborns captures the vibrancy of the everyday on the streets of Tehran immediately after the Iranian revolution of 1979. Shots of impassioned street discussions, revolutionary theatre and distribution of political pamphlets, are interspersed with everyday scenes of leisure, showing the optimism and commitment permeating the public sphere. Ending with the announcement of the new constitution that will lead to the foundation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the film documents a political limbo in which public space becomes an arena in which short-lasting promises of social transformation and revolutionary potential just before they are violently interrupted.
