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.

Laurie Parsons is an artist whose practices moved between sculpture and social engagement. In 1993, she participated in the exhibition On Taking a Normal Situation and Re-translating it into Overlapping and Multiple Readings of Conditions Past and Present at M HKA as part of the year-long Antwerp 93 European Capital of Culture festival. For the exhibition, she produced a set of exact duplicates of her personal diary. From the first page, we understand that: “We pick we choose we fall. We’re caught in the circumstances.”, and from there we read all 120 dense hand-written pages about the artist’s hopes and anxieties. A year later, she quit making art altogether to become a social worker supporting homeless people and those with mental health conditions in her native city of Hoboken, New Jersey, USA.
