And/Or Gallery is pleased to present the computer art of Joan Heemskerk, Dirk Paesmans, and Amy Alexander. The artworks in this exhibition examine quantum computing, AI, happenstantial augmented reality, and social media in the context of war.

Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans have worked together for decades as the JODI collective, and recently they've starting showing their work as individual artists. As JODI, starting in the 90s, they produced groundbreaking works of net art, digital art, and video game art which is included in almost every book on those subjects. JODI's work is in the collection of MoMA where they had a year-long solo exhibition in 2018.

Amy Alexander is a professor, researcher and hackernaut who has been making computationally-based art since the 1990s, and she's been writing about the role of algorithms in culture since the early 2000s. Amy is a Professor of Computing in the Arts in the Visual Arts Department at UC San Diego. With a background in film and additional background in music, programming, and IT, she has focused her career on the fuzzy borders between media and the world.
