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.

Chronicle of a Summer is a collaboration between the influential filmmaker and anthropologist Jean Rouch and the sociologist Edgar Morin. This was the film that introduced cinéma vérité as a strategy for documenting reality. From a simple beginning where the filmmakers set out to ask people in the street ‘Are you happy?’, the film evolves into a complex portrait of a society under strain. Shot as a self-reflexive documentary, Chronicle of a Summer centres on a series of interviews and discussions with different members of the working class in Paris. In their intimate dialogues they discuss both personal issues of work, love and depression as well as France’s war in Algeria, the situation in the Congo and memories of the Holocaust.
