ABOUT
The focus of the LINK is to support innovative approaches to digital artistic practice.
Artist Florian Adolph and gallerist Jean-Claude Maier recognized the need to create a physical space as a link to virtual spaces to make the new experience of digital extension more real and accessible.
The aim is to position Frankfurt as an infrastructure hub for international digital art. In doing so, the LINK is part of a growing decentralized infrastructure for the promotion of digital art.
This includes analog and digital events such as immersive exhibitions, parallel streamed talks, time-based performances and virtual tours.
Cooperation partners include WAVA gGmbH, the NODE Forum, [...],
the LINK offers a new approach to contemporary art through the participatory, immersive character of new technologies (VR glasses, AR applications, AI, projection mapping).
FLORIAN ADOLPH is an artist with a degree in interdisciplinary art and free painting from the Städelschule and has been working in digital/analog art internationally for 20 years. He has exhibitions at national and international level and holds courses and lectures on the topics of: Augmented Reality, Metaverses, AI and digital art.
Since 2021 he has been teaching in the field of "Expanded Realities" at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. He is co-founder of WAVA gGmbH, a platform for geolocalized augmented reality art.
JEAN-CLAUDE MAIER is an integrator. He studied at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Before becoming self-employed, he was head of a research department (electrocatalysts for fuel cells) in a leading materials technology company. He then founded PRIVATEOFFSPACE, a private exhibition platform for contemporary art. His gallery focused on the first exhibition presentations of young international artists.
He is convinced that nuanced relationships arise when people meet and talk about artistic content. For him, digital art is a progressive reality that can provide continuous meaningful experiences based on technological possibilities and the human capacities for creativity and criticism.
