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.

I found these pieces of glass just outside what I believe must be the Villa Borghese, in Rome, 1997

Jimmie Durham walks around cities looking for unexpected encounters and gathering things, as we can read in his text Nature in the City. In this artwork, a few pieces of semi-precious stones found by Durham in Rome are placed on a tray together with a handwritten text which does not intend to explain but rather give a new (narrative) dimension to these seemingly worthless stones.
