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.

The Center of the World or How to get at Chalma, 1997

Installation

"The Museum of Contemporary Art in Pori, Finland, invited me to do something there in 1997. I got a truck-load of rocks the size of fists or potatoes and put them all over the floor of the museum, even in the offices, toilets, and the gift shop. I also put these rocks outside the building, on the sidewalk and into the street. They were not so densely placed that they made a covering; spaced from 50 cm to 100 cm apart. I was trying, with these “free” stones to see if I could free up the architecture itself, and its agenda for the museum. (Not to fight or attack—the building is quite beautiful and well-suited to be an art museum.)" [full text here]
