JODI http://wwwwwwwww.jodi.org
Jodi, or jodi.org, is a collective of two internet artists: Joan Heemskerk (Bogotá) and Dirk Paesmans (Caracas). Their background is in photography and video art; since the mid-1990s they started to create original artworks for the World Wide Web. A few years later, they also turned to software art and artistic computer game modification. Since 2002, they have been in what has been called their "Screen Grab" period, making video works by recording the computer monitor's output while working, playing video games, or coding.

“Max Payne Cheats Only” • 2004

In Max Payne Cheats Only (2005), Jodi appropriates a hard-boiled videogame and ‘tricks’ it, immediately revealing the pack of lies of the conventions on which it is based – conventions that make us perceive the game as an alternative believable reality where we can experience adventures – and making the suspension of disbelief an impossible journey.

AES+F group Last Riot, Last Riot 2





The virtual world generated by the real world of the past twentieth century as the organism coming from a test-tube, expands, leaving its borders and grasping new zones, absorbs its founders and mutates in something absolutely new. In this new world the real wars look like a game on www.americasarmy.com, and prison tortures appear sadistic exercises of modern valkyrias. Technologies and materials transform the artificial environment and techniques into a fantasy landscape of the new epos. This paradise also is a mutated world with frozen time where all past epoch the neighbor with the future, where inhabitants lose their sex, and become closer to angels. The world, where any most severe, vague or erotic imagination is natural in the fake unsteady 3D perspective. The heroes of new epos have only one identity, the identity of the rebel of last riot. The last riot , where all are fighting against all and against themselves, where no difference exists any more between victim and aggressor, male and female. This world celebrates the end of ideology, history and ethic.

Matteo Bittanti
Kurátor, editor knihy GameScenes. Art in the Age of Videogames a víc vám o sobě řekne sám: "My research focuses on the cultural, social, and theoretical aspects of emerging technology, with an emphasis on the interrelations of popular culture, visual culture, and the arts. Primary interest is the social and cultural impact of videogames. I have been investigating the intersections between cinema and videogames, forms of consumerism, and popular narratives."

Rebecca Cannon
Rebecca Cannon is a 30 years old Female artist born in Australia, currently working in Fitzroy, FITZROY, Victoria, Australia.
After studying Fine Art Painting, and then graduating from RMIT with a BA in Media Arts, Rebecca Cannon went from producing painting to more experimental animation, audio and video work. More recently she has received grants to produce innovative screen-based works, including a machinima piece and an experimental mobile phone game.

Part of the interesting kid's toys project I've embarked on. 'How many sides does this racing track have kids?'



The Buff and The Brutal Animation
The Buff and The Brutal is a Machinima soap-opera parody. In it, the very tough, mutant characters of Quake 3 Arena become emotionally vulnerable, jealous, gay lovers caught in an intricate web of treachery and deceit. Fragging is synonymous with sex, linking in-game pleasure/pain responses to S&M sexuality.


..je také kurátorkou.
