Jodi

Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans are a Dutch-Belgian artist duo known as JODI. They began working together in 1994 and are considered pioneers of web-based art.

One of their most well-known works is their website, jodi.org, which is both an artwork and a statement. The site is intentionally difficult to navigate and disrupts typical browsing conventions, challenging viewers' expectations of what a website should be. JODI has also created artistic modifications of popular computer games such as Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, Jet Set Willy, and Max Payne, transforming them into subversive and challenging artworks.

In addition to their web-based works, JODI has also created performances, interactive installations, and exhibitions. Their work often challenges viewers to engage with technology in new ways and question the relationship between humans and machines. They have exhibited their work at institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the New Museum in New York, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
