Link, by Hanna Husberg and Giorgio Partesana
installation view from Enaction in Art, la Bastille, Grenoble

Link is an interactive audiovisual installation where the spatial relations between individuals and their virtual energy
exchange are passed on to “avatars”. The avatars follow their genitors and develop until the “separation”, after which
they continue their evolution independently in a virtual space. The energy flows are evoked by sound and visual
perceptions modified by the movements of the spectators.
Before entering the interactive area, the participant is invited to create an avatar, modeled on a voice sample,
which he then modulates by his movements. The “Eden” of the avatars is a virtual world populated by the avatars of
former users. The avatars continue their lives, moving around and linking themselves with each other. Their features
are those of their physical owners and their movements are moulded on the experience of their genitors.
