Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans, aka JODI, are among the world’s most-renowned computer artists. In the early days of the web, their online artwork spread around the net like wildfire, challenging the conventions of a medium that had only just begun to emerge.

The computer is shaped by us and we are shaped by the computer – often in ways we don’t fully understand. JODI’s work uses unstructured play as a way to illuminate this two-way process.
