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: The Center of The World

"[The project] began quite slowly, in Mexico, where I did live close to the centre of the world, which was an actual tree. When you go to that tree, you see that it marks the centre of the world, there’s no argument about it. There is also a magnolia tree, close to where I grew up, that also marks the centre of the world and you can’t argue with that either. … what a coincidence that I am so often at the centre of the world!"
