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.

"A couple of years ago I was invited to make a permanent new work as part of the first Sami courthouse in Norway, in the town of Tana on the Tana River. I stayed a month making it, again perfect sunny warm weather, but the sun never once went down. I spoke with many people, again learned much that I’d not before thought of. Again saw how racism had made people (local Norwegians) dirty and stupid, proud and arrogant.

The opening of the new courthouse, and of my work, was attended by the king and queen of Norway, who received a strong lecture from the Sami judge. One is embarrassed in the presence of people who have something wrong with them: incontinence, extreme neuroses, etc. I am always embarrassed around people who agree to be subject to a king or queen."
