Digital provocateurs JODI pioneered Web art in the mid-1990s,
upending the conventions of the emerging medium to create anarchic
programs that simulated computer crashes, viruses, and error
messages. The duo has wrought similar havoc on computer programs and
video games, radically disrupting the language of these systems— including interfaces, commands, errors, and code—to subvert the
relationship between computer technology and its users. About JODI
cont. JODI's works are typically seen online. Their recent solo
exhibitions include INSTALL.EXE at Eyebeam, New York, which toured to
Basel and to BuroFriedrich, Berlin; and the Computing 101B exhibition
at FACT Centre, Liverpool, England. Their works have also been
exhibited at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow; Kunstverein
Bonn; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Zentrum fur Kunst und
Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe, Germany; and Documenta X, Kassel,
Germany, among others.
