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.

Tony Oursler

° 1957

Born in New York (US), lives in New York (US).

American artist Tony Oursler is primarily known for his experimental work in the twilight zone between sculpture and the projected image, which lends an entirely new meaning to the old concept of ‘animation’. His signature works often show human faces (invariably talking, and incessantly so) projected onto the soft surfaces of a stuffed dummy propped up to resemble the human form – classic representations, in short, of that which Sigmund Freud, in a celebrated essay from 1919, has termed “the uncanny”.
