Project Gentili is pleased to present G33 CON, a solo exhibition by the artist duo JODI.

For their debut with Project Gentili, JODI have developed the outskirts of their computer-based practice to channel the dirt style animus of technological amateurism and participatory-media. JODI’s personal anthropology runs parallel to and thru the wealth of folk-practices on the world’s networks, from fax-phreaking and list-spamming to web-crashing and youtubing.

The opening of G33 CON will be accompanied by the presentation of a publication (including the Compact Disc, “Dance For Me Baby”) and a block party in front of the gallery, for which Jodi will perform “%Little_Internet_Street_Fighter_Remix.flv.” The artists will give a lecture preceding the inauguration at CCC Strozzina, Palazzo Strozzi in Firenze, March 27.

JODI, Joan Heemskerk (born 1968 in Kaatsheuvel, The Netherlands) and Dirk Paesmans (born 1965 in Brussels, Belgium) have exhibited at venues including the Guggenheim Museum, New-York; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Documenta-X, Kassel. For more information on JODI, visit visit Wikipedia.
