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.

Portraits, 1995

Book, 16 x 12 cm.

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp .

A collection of mouths speaking, singing, and shouting into microphones assault the reader in "Portraits", an album in white and black that shows an image serie that Antoni Muntadas has manipulated from pictures caught on the television or in newspappers.

The book explores the relationship between communication and mass-media culture page after page. The power of the symbols in our society and our reaction on them. The forms of exchanging information are transforming our way of life and our way to understand the world, concepts that are also a constant in Muntadas works. The serials and the repetitions of the same object are attacking the reader in this publication in the same way that mass-media does day after day, keeping the public away from reality.
