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.

De sexuele revolutie, 1997

"The interactive projection “The sexual revolution” happens straight from a computer. It cuts the exhibition in two, happens on a fluorescent sheet of 2 by 3 meters and is divided in three. One can see three independent running animations, each with their own sound. The films can be stopped each one separately, and then activated again. When the mouse, that controls all these actions, is left alone for more than three minutes, the projection starts anew from the beginning. The image was first cut in the middle horizontally, then the top part was divided again. By this I try to act out a personal image of the human brain; top left is the conscious, top right the unconscious and underneath the subconscious. The subconscious is as large as the sum of both others.

I defined the Conscious as that what I order my material biotope to do, the SELF, 2 or 3000 years old, the Unconscious as that what the social biotope whispers to me, the instinct, the Knowledge, and the Subconscious as that what the genetic biotope offers me, the robot, the unconscious agens, science, intuition."
