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.

Museum of European Normality, 2008

Installation

Collection: Courtesy of the artists.

The Museum of European Normality is an installation set up as a parody of a documentation centre with socio-anthropological pretensions. It includes videos, maps, images from books and other sorts of documentation material. In one of the projects presented in the Museum, visitors can volunteer to donate their head to the Maoris in New Zealand. Facts and figures are presented as if part of a study, together with maps showing migration patterns across Europe, shaping our European Normality. An anti-guest book is displayed at the entrance, with more than 5.000 names of people who have died trying to immigrate to Europe or in refugee camps.
