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.

Objects and images as subjects. That is something Barateiro addresses in his other works – lecture performances, artist books, installations, paintings and drawings – and not least in this animated film, based on a recent series of drawings in Indian ink on white paper. Technically, the animation consists of making these drawings twirl in and out of view. But the film also animates the purposely flat images of cartoonish ‘backgrounds’, ‘clowns’ or ‘pizzas’ into scenarios or characters that take on a real agency. When we watch them dance, we see them act.
