JODI in group show Signal to Noise at NCM, Melbourne

JODI is part of group show Signal to Noise at NCM, Melbourne which opens today!

Their work My%Desktop (2002) is on display. This artwork is recently positioned on nr. 66 in Art News Top 100 Best Artworks of the 21st Century! The artwork was on view at MoMA in 2020.

Signal to Noise explores how artists work with, challenge, or complicate the relationship between signals and noise—disruptions, glitches or interference—in communication technologies and the messages they send. These technologies include the internet, telephones, radio and television, artificial intelligence, social media algorithms, and even the sounds of the natural world.

Artists are the buzz in the radio, the data that brings AI to a glitching halt. Instead of seeing noise as something to block out, artists in the exhibition reframe noise as a signal in itself— an opportunity for creative engagement.

Through international artworks, new commissions and technology collections, the political, social, philosophical and aesthetic possibilities for noise are examined: revealing the limits of technology’s capacity to contain noise, while embracing the inevitable and productive friction noise makes possible.
