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.

The White Elements remind us of flattened creatures, like what often happened in classic cartoons. Each of the White Elements also has a drawing of a face attached on either side, making them resemble the Roman god Janus who symbolized new beginnings or transitions. This series of 9 beings were inspired by ’White Elements’, an annual rave near Lake Wörth at Velden, Austria, where party-goers dress entirely in white clothes. The White Elements symbolize the inhabitants of OPTIMUNDUS, who experience the world in different dimensions.
