Josh Urban Davis

Josh Urban Davis is an american research-based artist and engineer from Texas whose practice incorporates sculpture, performance, writing, sound, and video. His research interests span a wide spectrum of topics in human-computer interaction (HCI), with a specific emphasis on generative design, interaction techniques, and novel interface technologies. Davis' recent creative projects explore the relationship between emerging technologies, social relationships, and identity. Explicitly engaged with the very technologies that he critiques, Davis' work viscerally confronts the viewer, inviting us to contemplate the role new technologies play in mediating our understanding of reality and identity. His work has been exhibited at D!iverseWorks, the Blaffer Art Museum, Chandler Center for the Arts, Art League Houston, and others. He currently lives in Hanover, NH with his cat, Nocturne, where he is pursuing a PhD in computer sciences at Dartmouth.
