BIOGRAPHY

Lives and works in London, UK.

Founded the BEIGE Programming Ensemble with Joe Beuckman, Cory Arcangel and Joseph Bonn. While still in college in the late 90s Davis pioneered the use of hacked video game cartridges as an art practice. His Nintendo work was premiered in 2000 and subsequently BEIGE members used hacked NES systems to create a distinct body of work that has been shown internationally. Davis created The BEIGE Cassette Jockey Championships, the world's only cassette tape-based performance competition, and performing as 'DJ Spin-Laden' is the only DJ to ever get thrown off stage at the Technics/DMC World DJ Championships.

Recent projects include solo exhibitions in Milan and Chicago, performing music and wizardy in a duo with DJ LeDeuce [Thrill Jockey] known as The Potions, and DJ'ing in the elevator of the Akademie der Kunste, Berlin. Currently a lecturer in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, working on his Ph.D, and producing beats for St. Louis rapper 'Wonton'.
