JODI

JODI (Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans), or jodi.org, started pioneering Web art in 1994. Based in the Netherlands, they were among the first artists to investigate and subvert conventions of the Internet, computer programs, and video and computer games. JODI stages digital interventions that destabilize the relationship between computer technology and its users, radically disrupting the very language of these systems. They use a wide range of media and techniques—including installations, software, websites, and performances—to challenge our relationship to the technologies that we depend upon every day.
