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 photos of Hicham Benohoud originate in a reserve against the Islamic traditions, culture, power and society. His work is both staged and documentary and touches both the tragic, playful and absurd. He uses the body, often his own body, in order to develop a reflection about identity, individuality, freedom and integrity. Values that are often threatened by social and cultural constraints. An example can be found in the work Petites images coupées, 2004. Through the repetition of the same portrait he reduces the image of man to an object. The work is a mysterious picture of cover and display, decoration and defamation, humanity and alienation.
