And/Or Gallery is pleased to present the digital art of Joan Heemskerk, Dirk Paesmans, and Amy Alexander. Each artist will be exhibiting two artworks.

Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans previously worked together as the JODI collective, and recently they've starting showing 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.
