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.

Her installation Aubade IV is a futuristic floating cityscape, simultaneously reminiscent of tropes found in science fiction as well as of the fantastical descriptions found in Italo Calvino’s book Invisible Cities, his contemporary re-telling of Marco Polo’s travels. The word aubade refers to a morning love song, poem or composition about lovers separating at dawn, which dates as far back as the High Middle Ages in Europe. Bringing this evocation of love and separation into this futuristic scene, might act as an allegory for the ruptures and new beginnings in societies.
