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.

On Translation: Stand by, 2006

Book, 13.5 x 24.5 cm.

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. B 2024/720).

"On Translation: Stand by" is one of the pieces of the project that collects color photographies that were taken in public places (museums, fairs, airports, public buildings, cinemas, shops, etc.) all over the world in wich people are waiting in queues, like frozen in time.The queues become a new contemporary urban ritual in this context and people turn into an actors limited to a passive role, a stereotypical image of modernity.

"On Translation" is an art serie about the concept of translation from a perspective that involves cultural, political and economic issues. Therefore, it is not only about a linguistic process, but also about the processes of handling and reversal taking place in our society. This long proccess has been worked on by the artist Antoni Muntadas since 1995.
