in love with links

The internet is links ↗. But they are dying ↗, and the internet is already said to be dead ↗. Platforms arrived, transformed and ate the hyperlink ↗, now so-called ‘AI’ is here to get the rest ↗. Art won’t necessarily help, neither ‘innovation’ ↗. Until then, we share.

In Love with Links invited to drink tea and share links. We indexed them with screenshots to capture a fragment of the internet’s history. The heart of our network are lists ≡, collaborators curated to recommend or tell something. Screens ▢ in the space present rolling the network’s content. An overview of the growing link-archive can be seen and navigated through rhizomatic visualisation online, and was exhibited in space. With hand-set connections, the links as well as stacks of internet-related books, provided the opportunity to browse without limits but within the network, and ILWL’s space and time. A complementary programming staged workshops, performances, lectures and music.
