LINK

A Computer Action by Sabine Hänsgen and Andrei Monastyrski.
With contributions by Sergei Anufriev, Maria Chuikova, Martin Hüttel.

LINK is the title of the first performance in the series of Bochum actions, starting in 1990 as a branch of Moscow Collective Actions Group. The title refers to the eponymous hero of the popular computer game "Zelda-2: The Adventure of Link".

In the performance "Link", the interrelation between a real action in nature and the virtual reality of a computer game is reflected. A place in the botanical garden of the Ruhr University Bochum was chosen as the location which itself represents the simulation of a primeval biotope with horsetails and ferns.

This edition provides the artistic documentation of the action. It includes a descriptive text, commentary by the organizers and participants, as well as recollections from the contemporary perspective.

The text documentation is supplemented by photographs and a video recording, which can be accessed via a QR code.
