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.

Postcards from the Desert Island documents a three-week workshop conducted with children attending the École Vitruve in Paris, a parent-run experimental public elementary school. In reference to William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies the children were invited to collectively build and organise a society on a fictional desert island in their school assembly hall. They quickly run into political difficulties, such as the structures of decision-making or the role and rule of law. The film shows ‘a world in a nutshell’ where the children’s discussions and experiments of self-governance echo the impasses of Western democracies and the struggle for power inside such systems.
