JOE DAVIS is a research affiliate in the Department of Biology at MIT. As an artist he has done extensive research in molecular biology and bioinformatics for the production of genetic databases and new biological art forms. His teaching experience in the MIT graduate architecture program (Master of Science in Visual Studies) and in undergraduate painting and mixed media at the Rhode Island School of Design has informed his artistic practice. He has exhibited in the United States, Canada, and Europe at Ars Electronica. Davis is the first artist to use DNA as an artistic medium — his Microvenus (1986.) piece was constructed from synthetic molecules of DNA con-taining a coded icon in the shape of the external female genitalia and by coincidence, an ancient Germanic rune representing the female Earth. He constructed an Audio Microscope that translates light information into sound allowing us to hear microscopic world of living cells. Davis also recorded vaginal contractions and trans-lated them into text, music, phonetic speech and ultimately into radio signals which were beamed from MIT’s Millstone radar to Epsilon Eridani, Tau Ceti, and two other nearby star systems.
