ART Some featured artists within net art are JODI, Olia Lialina, and Alexei Shulgin. JODI is comprised of two artists, Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans. The two artists create their work with the production of videos and media works that play with technology prevalent to today. Olia Lialina is most notable for her browser-art piece ‘My Boyfriend Came Back From The War,’ which is comprised of black-and-white hyperlinked frames of images and text that is interactive with viewers. Alexei Shulgin gained his fame through his performances in which he manipulates an old computer with Microsoft Windows and an Intel processor to perform digital versions of pop music while text-to-speech voices sing the lyrics.
