digital stroll
a Piece of Stuff by jacinta (Jacinta Walpole)



http://www.jodi.org



the photoshoped images and glossy text that you see on websites and homepages are facades. behind every page lies a land of gobbledegook codes. billions of numbers and symbols and letters and lines. you would have experienced these codes when something breaks or stuffs up. a message like *java error line 4 user denied 76849//* pops up and you scratch you head and go some place else away from whatever it was that didn't make any sense or bear any meaning.

the jodi site is this tangle of codes. you scrawl around and there's moving things and text stuff. it's the guts of the net. a peep into the unreal world of infinte space. what's it all mean and how much is there? it's a bit like thinking about the stars and the end of the universe.

initially there's no real way to move through jodi - a bit of clicking and guessing required. new pages flash up and it's all very weird and wonderful. and just when you think you know what you are doing the screen begins to scrawl itself down and you've lost control

jodi drags you through the seemingly infinte cyber jumbo. beyond your own control

i love jodi

this one wins mouse down always
