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 2010, Jimmie Durham made a large-scale installation including sculptures, photographs, drawings, texts and documentation material that presented a humorous but nevertheless political investigation of the history and cultural identity of Scottish and Native Americans as well as the intersections between the two. In a few of the pieces in the exhibition, titled Universal Miniature Golf (The Promised Land), Durham used references to golf, like in Second Life, where a table has one of its feet replaced by a golf club.
