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.

For this artwork, made in 2004 on the occasion of the exhibition Reasons for Lightness, Jimmie Durham covered a rug with semi-precious stones - a definition which fascinates the artist. Also referred to as gemstones, “semi-precious” stones are rocks or minerals which are cut and polished in order to make jewelry. They are however classified in a category lower than those considered as the real precious stones such as diamond, sapphire and emerald.
