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.

JLB: 'It says, “Byars at the Met… invisibly.”'

DS: "Beautiful. What year was that?"

JLB: "1971"

DS: "And this goes in envelope?"

JLB: "Yes, if you like. What was wonderful about it was that I was wearing a red satin and I had North-South make a big bamboo pole so I looked like twenty-one feet tall and had a ball on the top with a red veil and high heels, and I could run in front of the Met like that, chasing the public, giving them invisibility."
