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.

During one of her many walks along the Brussels-Charleroi Canal, Els Dietvorst meets ACM (Art-Coeur-Merci). It is the start of an intense relationship. Yet  the moment Dietvorst visits ACM to make a film, he has disappeared. In his absence, Dietvorst made the film As Long as the Blackbird Sings with an actor. The film is a reflection of ACM's mental state: he's strong and vulnerable at the same time. Henry David Thoreau's Walden is a source of inspiration. This iconic book from 1854 is a combination of observations of nature, social criticism and philosophical insights. It has become a symbol of sustainability, anti-capitalism and civil disobedience.
