Jodi

Jodi is a Dutch design group comprising of Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans, the first two letters of their names Jo and Di create Jodi. They are central figures in the net.art movement; they set measures and standards against which all other works in their genre are compared to.
Net.art is their Internet project, which simulates browser bugs and system errors; Jodi transfers processes, which normally occur in the background onto the surface of web pages.
Their website is very effective and in a sense beautiful their WebPages flash and burn with random scrolling, uncontrollable programming code, and fragmented shards of interface elements.
Jodi forces us to question the representation of data, its translation; it’s mapping, and visual the programming language as a visual element.

wwwwwwwww.Jodi.org/ is 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.
