We need to talk about fashion. Come with me. TRIGGER WARNING: gender normativity ahead. But still.

“You know how it is: You kill a sheep and it feels good. The power. You’ve got all the power. And you think to yourself, I killed that one sheep and it felt amazing, how great is it gonna feel if I kill a bunch more? And suddenly you come to in some Montana field, and it’s two weeks later and you’ve killed 70 sheep and you’re covered in blood and entrails, and you start to ask yourself, what am I doing? It used to be about the sheep slaughtering, the innocent joy of playing God with a helpless ruminant. Instead you’re trapped in some senseless orgy of ovine depredation, always chasing that high you felt the first time you mauled that mewling mutton. And you sit there with your shame until the Wildlife service darts you and carts you away. At least you do if you’re a bear. It may be different for some other folks.” [Via; and do note that there is a graphic-photo warning on the link above]

A wonderful new feature on Tumblr means that you can destroy peoples’ lives! For just $5, you can “pin” something to people’s “dashboard,” and these “pinned posts” don’t go away until you “unpin” them. It’s basically MADE for trolls. (Also, do you think people born after 1990 know what a pushpin is?)

I don’t know a whole lot about graphic design, but if this new logo for the Rolling Stones is any indication, it seems like a pretty sweet gig.

And how to deal with the workplace fiasco that is having the 4th of July on a Wednesday.

Like those “computer hacker” characters from 90s movies who’d wear trenchcoats with old circuit boards sewn into them, web artists who wear their HTML on their sleeves can seem like cyberpunk relics. One goal of “Net Art” is to manipulate and expose the hidden code that flows beneath the internet, empowering users by making them aware they are only using the controlled “surface.” That was the common goal back in the 90s, when Net Art began, and it remains the goal now. But has this philosophy lost its relevance? Has the the trend of exposing the internet’s hidden code become outmoded — in the vein of those late-90s iMacs with with the clear cases that allowed you to see inside? Or is it still a futuristic and revolutionary concept — here having something in common with those persistent rumors that the iPhone 5 is going to be made of “clear” metal?

Two artists who did this sort of thing (quite well) in the early days of the internet were Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans, also known as the Jodi Art Collective (aka Jodi.org), which got its start around 1996. Heemskerk and Paesmans possessed genuine hacking skills, but they weren’t hackers. Their aim was a more user-friendly techno-apocalypse, and they created hacker-like Net Art that valued accessibility over annihilation (their work has been called “faux-code” and “faux-virus” by their critics). Their stuff managed the goal of forcing drastic choices on web surfers who became entangled in their uncompromising websites, having to think quick as they watched their computers appear to break.

Back in 1996, they angered internet users far and wide with a website known only by its url: http://oss.jodi.org. You’ll note that’s not a live link, and that’s because visiting the site will crash your computer and we didn’t want any of you to accidentally click over. Still online, remarkably, the website causes fluttering browser windows to rapidly open all over your screen, each triggering automatic downloads that duplicate the process every few seconds, a process that goes on until your browser crashes. Restarting your computer just makes it happen again and again. There is a way to turn it off, but it requires you to stop only looking at the surface of the internet, and open your lazy, web-surfing mind to the potential of the code beneath the blah blah… you get the point. The website wasn’t a legitimate “hack,” Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans have stated (here’s one online debate). Jodi.org went on to create all kinds of annoying, migraine-inducing, genuinely stimulating projects using the internet (and now video games) as their medium. And they’re still at it today.

Looking back now, in a world where web designers devise increasingly obtrusive ways to force web users to interact with advertising, Jodi.org mid-90’s web headaches seem like digital diviners.

I interviewed Jodi.org about their uncompromising work via email and, in typical fashion, they refused to respond to me using text… communicating only in scrambled HTML code and links. No, really. It was like interviewing someone from the future (or the past’s version of the future?). You try to figure it out.

Mark Allen: Can I ask you guys a few questions about your work?

MA: Um… okay. Well, anyway, you two are the most famous Net Artists around, going back to 1996. Do you think it is still an important cause for activists and artists to poke behind the “surface” of the internet and reveal the code beneath, forcing users to question their interaction levels with the web?

MA: Hmmm. As preparation for this interview, I was able to finally locate the website that I remember introduced me to your work in the late 90s: http://oss.jodi.org/ [again, warning!]. I can’t believe it’s still online. Even now, fifteen years later it ended up crashing my browser and cause me to have to restart my computer many times, and lost my browser history and bookmarks in the scramble. I was pissed off all over again! Do you still get complaints about it?

MA: Interesting. Back in the early 90s, before you were online, as artists, what were your pre/non-internet inspirations?

http://rt.se/6Y4
http://ow.ly/bJ3I1

MA: Thinking back, did you have any ideas about doing these types of things before the internet came along? Getting under the roots of things and exposing other mediums?

MA: I love your http://globalmove.us/ piece, which sometimes successfully starts up a user’s Google Earth plug-in, and also Google Street View, then uses markers and settings automatically to make sprawling designs without their control. And I hate your http://asdfg.jodi.org/——————————-/——————————-/——————————-/———————–332xc675/rttywxxx.html piece, which you made around 1998, and I’m sure could cause seizures in people who are sensitive. You seem fearless in your love/hate relationship with the internet. What are some things on the internet that you love and hate now?

MA: Cute! Okay, before you got to that point… you were both video and photography artists before using the internet as your main subject. Do you remember the moment of inspiration where you thought about using HTML code as a medium?

http://goo.gl/bmkQt
http://goo.gl/b6nD3
http://goo.gl/UlNrI

MA: So… you’re saying you lived near Silicon Valley in the early 90s, which inspired your website http://wwwwww.jodi.org/ which shows images of bombs (when the user figures out how to to use the “view source” option on their browser), and also you’d like to conclude with “404 not found?”; I think I understand? But back then, I think most people who wanted to make websites had to do it the hard way (they had to learn to build with raw html, and use “frames,” or go to a bookstores and buy books on web design). Did you have to do these same times of things in order to learn how to un-make websites?

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000746.htm

MA: I plan to! What are things you feel would have been easier with your work as the Jodi.org using today’s internet, as opposed to the late 90s/early 00s internet?

MA: But this series is about the memory lanes of the internet! So, when the Jodi.org name was spreading all over chat rooms and message boards in the late 90s with warnings “Do not go to this website!” and “Hackers!” however long ago it seems, did you consider it a badge of honor?

http://ohinternet.com/Old_meme

MA: So you’re over it like people are over dancing baby? (Were you aware he’s making a small comeback?) In a 1997 interview you seemed angry when the interviewer implied that Net Art’s primary exhibition space was office cubicles rather than an art gallery, because people looked at websites while bored at work. You claimed this was a cliche that was “untrue, and not funny.” You ended up being right, with computers being so mobile now. So in 2012, what untrue cliches exist now?

Previous interviews in series: Rob Cockerham, Early Web Prankster; Rex Booth, Early Web Cam-mer; and Jennifer Sharpe, Early Web Aggregator

Mark Allen is a writer and performer living in New York. He has been on the internet way too long.

“The growth lines they found on the ruminants were similar to those seen in previous studies of dinosaur bones — indicating that both ruminants and dinosaurs have periods of high growth punctuated by “unfavorable” seasons with limited resources and little growth. This means that dinosaurs were likely warm-blooded like the ruminants.”
