David Link Libri

A new Academy? Given the chance to realize one, what would we expect from its members? At the Academy of the Lynx-Eyed in Naples, on admission each new member was expected to bring a startling, novel object with him. On the occasion of Siegfried Zielinski’s 60th birthday next year, we have invited friends to contribute an artifact to an imagined Academy. The book presents the result of this collection. Following the style of a poly-technical journal from the 19th century, the articles are ordered alphabetically. They centre on an object, which is presented by a line drawing of Peter Blegvad and a text.

David Link generates interactive projects at the interface between art, science and technology. For one such project, titled "LoveLetters_1.0," Link reconstructed a functional replica of one of the earliest programmable computers, the Ferranti Mark I, and an equally early program, invented in 1952 by Christopher Strachey at the University of Manchester, in order to produce computer-generated love letters. Anonymously addressed to "Darling Love" or "Jewel Duck," the letters address the reader in a surprisingly human and tender way.
