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

It is summer 1989. August lives between two villages, on a street between the meadows and the forest. Her father has left in search of a life that suits him better. Her mother refuses to believe that he will never come back. The world of August is supported by narrations: stories she reads, stories she gets sent from her dad on cassette tapes, and stories that she makes up. August prepares a speech about the Satanic Verses. At school, the book is burned by a Turkish classmate. Questions are pressing, like: What is the power of the written word? Should everything you tell be true? Is it true that Rushdie is hiding in the barn behind in the garden? For sure, August puts a plate of food for him every day. Altijd Augustus is a small, dazzling narration in which the tears of a society that is perfect are becoming painfully visible.
