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.

Ensemble: Caliban Codex

"For my show in November [1992], I wanted to engage the New York art world specifically about its current events, including my place in those events. I also wanted to do some pieces that I had been wanting to do for a while. But I didn’t know how to put any of it together, so I made Caliban into a visual artist. I created a fictitious archive of Caliban’s drawings, letters, and sculptures as a way to explore the Third World artist in contemporary art practice. I fictionalized the fiction, in a sense, to talk about my observations about somebody else." [full text here]

Caliban is a character from Shakespeare’s play The Tempest.
