Life Needs Internet Writing Session
Jeroen van Loon
Writing session //
Life Needs Internet is an art project by the Utrecht artist Jeroen van Loon at the IMPAKT Festival 2021 Modern Love. Van Loon has been collecting handwritten letters for ten years in which people from all over the world answer the same question: “How does the internet influence your daily life, love and relationships and how does this make you feel?”
These writing sessions are both a deep dive into the archive and a way to write new letters. Each session starts with an introduction to the project by the artist. He shows a selection of letters from the archive and tells the story behind them. After discussing these letters, all participants can start working on their own handwritten letters. The writing is done on the spot. The session ends with a moment to discuss each other’s letters, share anecdotes and see how they relate to each other.
Participation is free. Registration is required for the writing sessions.
