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: Questioning of media

© M HKA

Very early on in his career, Muntadas was intrigued by the power of media, which became obvious to him when seeing the way Franco ruled over Spain and how he used media to make up the public minds. This interest has stayed throughout his career, evolving as the media itself evolved with the rise of internet. Many of his works raise awareness about the perception of images, which is led to the slogan “Warning: perception requires involvement”. This element has become so important that we created a seperate ensemble around it, but there are many other works that explore the principles of specific media elements like television or advertising, and form a group on their own.
