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.

Collection: Collection Musée d'Art Contemporain de Lyon, Lyon.

Meta Filter (1973–75) is an interactive learning system allowing two people, who may or may not know each other, to build an intangible model of society – a model society – through mutual agreement. Seated on opposite sides of a console that can be installed in any public venue, both operators encounter the same sequence of problems. These are formulated in the Problem Book and visualised in sixty slides of a group of eight people reflecting five kinds of group behaviour: ‘reference’, ‘social provision’, ‘survival’, ‘projectional’ and ‘institutional’. The problems are organised into twelve areas of increasing complexity; in addition, each problem is accompanied by statements from two different reference groups who were consulted during the construction of the work.
