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 Longest Day, 1962

Film

'During WWII, some American soldiers would use these metal 'crickets' to make a sort of recognition signal.  If the 'click' was given and then likewise answered, it was a sign that it came from a fellow US soldier.  There's a scene like this in the movie 'The Longest Day' on the Normandy landings.  An American soldier is hidden, pinned down.  He hears someone approaching, and clicks his 'cricket'.  In fact, it's a German soldier that's approaching, and when the latter slides back his rifle's bolt, it makes a sound just like the 'cricket'.  Hearing this, the American thinks it safe to come out from hiding, only to come face-to-face with the enemy!  And then, it's BANG, of course...' – Panamarenko
