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.

"How can you speak in earnest about someone who doesn't want to be earnest? What kind of approach do you take then, since the artist thus shows his true colours and in doing so neutralises any criticism in advance? (...) Lizène has expressed himself through all genres and techniques. His style comes down to a humorous attitude that quite often messes around with decency and common norms, in an equally stunning and amazement-inspiring way. His mocking attitude, however, leads to glory because, as he debunks myths, his own myth is being reinforced. (...)"
