Services such as GoogleMaps™ have changed our worldview radically by making the Globe accessible as a commercial multi-user surface. In addition to JODI Live lecture, and as part of Radiator’s Digital Broadway Programme, Radiator will present “Geo Goo” on Broadway’s Glass Screen, where JODI uses a process of coding/decoding, and deciphers cryptic data in a chaotic surface to uncover hidden messages in geometric shapes. http://www.jodi.org
