jodi, SOD (1999)
"In this light, JODI will be contributing the work SOD (1999) into the Pompidou. SOD was one of JODI’s earlier game modifications. In SOD, the early video game Wolfenstein 3D (1992), in which the goal was to escape from a Nazi dungeon, is heavily deconstructed into a near-abstract maze of pure geometrical forms and pixelated patterns in black, white, and gray. The result is a game space that is loosely architectural and extremely disorienting. Where Wolfenstein 3D’s representational renderings were considered state-of-the art at the time of the game’s release, JODI’s goal was to bring it back to its abstract dynamics to understand the underlying coded “behaviours” of the game."

Portable Healing Shrine
This piece is built upon a found object (a small hand made, hand-painted Hindu shrine that I found at the AsiaBarong marketplace in Great Barrington). While the found shrine was rather crudely made and painted, I thought it would be fun to use the wooden framework to create a personal shrine using my own imagery.
The selection of images above:
- a front view of the shrine with all doors closed
- the shrine under its protective glass jar in the gallery
- a view with one side door partially opened - showing Medicine Buddha and emerging lotus
- the shrine with all outer doors open - showing hands making offerings (multiple panels) and Protective Dakinis dancing on the doors of the inner-most realm
- the doors of the inner sanctum opened to reveal the meditating Medicine Buddha flanked by flaming lotus flowers
