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.

The installation More Delicate Than the Historian’s Are the Map Maker’s Colours focuses on the Christopher Columbus monument in Seville, nicknamed ‘The Egg of Columbus’, referring to Columbus’s retort to his doubters that discovering the Americas was as difficult as making an egg stand on its tip. Lagomarsino illegally imported eggs from Argentina, which he and his father then threw at the monument in an act of poetic retribution. Employing themes of travel and transport, the work comments on the received historical narrative and its continuing influence.
