2nd page -Jodi

Jodi forces us to question the representation of data, its translation; it’s mapping, and the programming language as a visual element.
In their pages they re-invent the way we see the Internet, instead of us seeing the image on the page, and the code in the source, Jodi reverses this process and we see the code on the surface and the image in the background.

An example of this is wwwwwwwww.Jodi.org/ Jodi’s homepage, which consists of meaningless text, until you look beyond the interface into the source code, which reveals a detailed diagram of a hydrogen bomb.
Jodi’s work challenges expectations of the behaviour of the computer and creates humour from the misery of glitches and virus’s. Jodi uses this site to reveal the inner beauty of the web.

KEY points:
* Their pieces only work well, when viewed in their intended environment – ‘The web’
* Sites are no used to present information
* Jodi’s sites:
