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 Dance of the Thatcher, 2019

For The Dance of the Thatcher, Dietvorst follows Matt, a thatcher, for eight years during his work. Thatching is an old craft and a profession that is threatened by current socio-economic conditions. Matt's way of life is at odds with today's super-fast and virtual world. In his world, knowledge is acquired through action and words are sparingly spoken. Traditions and rituals are not in the service of capital or ideology, but of life itself. The film fits in with Dietvorst's interest in phenomena that are being ignored by modern progress ideology.
