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 purpose of government, education and all aspects of life in the present and recent past is to build a vibrant economy and develop the people, institutions and technologies to keep the economy growing and changing, forever. […] This is by far the most common of the four alternative futures, since almost all official statements about the future are based on ‘Continued Growth’, and usually ‘Continued Economic Growth’. (Jim Dator, Alternative Futures at the Manoa School, 2009)

The futurists and artists in this segment of ‘A Temporary Futures Institute’ metaphorically interpret and critique the image of the future as ‘more of the same’, as an endlessly continuing process of enrichment and elaboration. They either visualise ongoing social processes in moving images supported by or liberated from spoken narration (Agence Future, Darius Žiūra) or offer a meditation on movement through time in a painting installation doubling as a built environment for paintings that pick out ‘lines’ or ‘threads’ or ’strings’ of action or progress (Nina Roos).
