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.

Literary synopsis

Espahor Ledet Ko Uluner! is a succession of apparently everyday references, with different moods, in a language invented by the artist.

Relation of the novel to the artist’s practice

Espahor Ledet Ko Uluner! was presented in 1973 at the Cirrus Gallery in Los Angeles and advertised as a public reading of a novel to be delivered by its author. De Cointet remained invisible and completely absent as the artist in relation to the work, though he had in fact written the novel in a coded language and directed its performance, hiring a dwarf named Billy Barty to play the role of the author.
