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.

Doms has produced a product that would give every existing artwork the veil of conceptualism, literally. Reflecting on the teaching of art and its history, and the burden of expectation for artists today to follow in the lineage of modern and conceptual art, Doms has used images of key historical conceptual artworks from renowned books on the subject, and appropriated their colours to produce a stealth camouflage patterned fabric. The fabric can be used to cover any artwork to give it a more acceptable public face, whilst freeing the artist to make the kind of artwork he or she desires, free of the burdens of expectation and history.
