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.
