The &#8220;desktop performance&#8221; of glitches and interactions resulted in chaotic frenzy of elements jumping and popping from the screen. When I first walked into this installation in the NY MoMA, I was immediately drawn to the way positive and negative space can be manipulated in a computer desktop, where highlighting an icon or folder creates a contrasting and inverse shape. I never realized how many different formations and patterns can be created from overlaying folders and opening and closing files at a rapid pace. The aesthetic of the old operating system and how it was used as a tool to create interesting visuals inspired me to look for outdated tools which may be useful. After further research, JODI&#8217;s intentions behind manipulating a computer desktop was to create a space where normal computers could be given a personality and influence irrational behavior in viewers through overwhelming amounts of data, as they emphasize their concept that &#8220;The Computer is a device to get into someone&#8217;s head&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"title style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\"><div id=\"kgvid_kgvid_0_wrapper\" class=\"kgvid_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"video_kgvid_0_div\" class=\"fitvidsignore kgvid_videodiv\" data-id=\"kgvid_0\" data-kgvid_video_vars=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;kgvid_0&quot;,&quot;attachment_id&quot;:4230,&quot;player_type&quot;:&quot;Video.js&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;480&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:&quot;270&quot;,&quot;fullwidth&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;countable&quot;:true,&quot;count_views&quot;:&quot;start_complete&quot;,&quot;start&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;pauseothervideos&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;set_volume&quot;:1,&quot;muted&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;meta&quot;:true,&quot;endofvideooverlay&quot;:false,&quot;resize&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;auto_res&quot;:&quot;automatic&quot;,&quot;pixel_ratio&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;right_click&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;playback_rate&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;JODI&#039;s My%Desktop&quot;,&quot;nativecontrolsfortouch&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;locale&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;enable_resolutions_plugin&quot;:false}\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/f2020\/?attachment_id=4230&amp;kgvid_video_embed[enable]=true\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Animated-GIF-original-1.mp4\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"JODI&#039;s My%Desktop\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Video\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-09-01T17:19:07-04:00\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<video id=\"video_kgvid_0\" playsinline controls preload=\"metadata\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"fitvidsignore video-js kg-video-js-skin\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<source src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-212\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Animated-GIF-original-1.mp4?id=0\" type=\"video\/mp4\" data-res=\"270p\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/video>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div style=\"display:none;\" id=\"video_kgvid_0_meta\" class=\"kgvid_video_meta kgvid_video_meta_hover \">\n\t\t\t\t<span class='kgvid_meta_icons'><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span id='video_kgvid_0_title' class='kgvid_title'>JODI's My%Desktop<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n<div id=\"info\" class=\"style-scope ytd-video-primary-info-renderer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JODI&#8217;s My%Desktop 2002 is a digital piece that utilizes a &#8220;user-friendly&#8221; Mac OS 9 operating system, manipulating the elements on the desktop through clicking and software manipulation to create a piece with interesting visuals and glitches.
