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.

In her videos Taniguchi also portrays processes of making and seeing, but this format allows her to be a curious bystander rather than reporting from inside her own laboratory. Making the part stands for the whole can be done more explicitly when someone or something else is in front of the camera. For instance a body part, as in the video installation Untitled (Dawn’s Arms), which shows a stone-carver in the Philippine marble quarries on the island of Romblon replicating the arms of the statue (titled Morning) that mirrors itself in the stagnant fountain of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion.
