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.

In the short video animation, The Greatest Show on Earth, a TV set flips between channels, showing the kind of content we’ve come to expect from television: a high-strung mixture of news, war, politics, and commercials. The animation is a flow of images with a suggestive soundtrack, telling a surrealistic visual story and referencing the strong 20th century tradition of the political collage. Fettaka humorously and ironically comments on the role of television in writing history and forming public opinion.
