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.

Ensemble: The port of Santos

This ensemble within the Dockers Museum connects vintage photos of the harbor of Santos; the largest harbor of South-America. They present the region before the harbor was build.

Dockers' Museum was created as part of a project, in the knowledge that it would travel to São Paulo after Antwerp. At that time, the São Paulo Art Biennial was just a prospect, but it determine all the items in Dockers' Museum, which includes a series of picture postcards from Santos beach.
