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 M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK007796).

N/S/E/O (Antwerp Version) is an installation that Muntadas made for the Venice Biennal in 1976, and was shown again at the ICC in Antwerp. In a darkened room, the work displays a map of the world spread out on the ground, and where Spain – the artist’s homeland – is spotlighted. On the four walls hang symbolic elements intended to reflect the contrasts that gave rise to the image of the world back then. God is represented by a classical crucifix, and the Devil by Exu – a Brazilian variant on the Devil. The flags of the USA and the ex-Soviet Union are also present, and give a clear snapshot of a world caught in the middle of the Cold War.
