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.

DAAR's intervention for Ten thousand wiles and a hundred thousand tricks focuses on new collective forms of protest and action, namely the idea of common assembly and its crucial role in current protest movements. The work investigates the potential of political associations that function beyond the sphere of the parliamentary, inquiring into their architectural, organisational and spatial characteristics and effects. Through strategies of appropriation, reuse and reconfiguration, DAAR challenges the structures of colonisation, posing the question: ‘Could we think of Palestinian camps not as places of refuge but rather as places of assembly?’
