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.

"People like Wittgenstein, Stein, and Einstein are formidable. Now take Gertrude Stein: 'thank you for all thoughts', 'how do you find what you have', 'beware of the next star', 'giving it away, not giving it away, is there any difference?', 'If I told him he would like it would he like it if I told him'. That has a great power of expression. In Japan, I taught English and there I worked with that kind of sentences."
