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 Joy of the Experience of Totality

In this manuscript Cox speaks positively about surrealism, contextualizing it in terms of the aftermath of WWI as well as in reaction to an unjust and conformist colonial world.  Surrealism sought to coherently 'repair' mankind, to provide a joy of experience of the whole.  This text appears to be an earlier version of his ‘The Meaning of Surrealism’.
