“Working this way allows me to generate an infinite number of compositions. I set the boundaries and the rules, but whatever comes out at the end is a surprise. It could look cool. It could fail. It could be life-changing.” -Joshua Davis, 2007, Apple.com interview.

Joshua Davis was the winner of the 2001 Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica in the category “Net Excellence”, the highest honor in international digital art and design. He has exhibited his work at both innovative, new-media galleries such as Maxalot (Amsterdam) and Espeis (Brooklyn) and international institutions such as the Tate Modern, the Design Museum, MoMA PS1, Guggenheim Bilbao, Le Centre Pompidou and the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt (New York). Davis recently exhibited, Random Assistant, at the Rovereto music and arts festival outside Milan, Italy.

2007 saw the rise of Joshua Davis as a force in home product and apparel design. Collaborating with Toronto-based, home-furnishings maker, Umbra, and apparel and stationary maker, Miquelrius, Davis’ collections are available at contemporary museum stores, such as the MoMA Store, and soon widely through Target and international retailers.

“Among modern artists I conceptually identify with Jackson Pollock - not that I’m a particular fan of his visual style, but because he always identified himself as a painter, even though a lot of the time his brush never hit the canvas. There’s something in that disconnect - not using a brush or tool in traditional methods.”

Using technology and computers as a medium since 1995, he has been working on many personal projects: www.joshuadavis.com, conceptual project www.once-upon-a-forest.com, and was the founder of seminal open-source design and technology communities praystation, cyphen, and dreamless.

Client projects have included BMW, Kanye West, Motorola, amp energy, Amp’d Mobile, Nike, Volkswagen, Umbra, Miquelrius, Sony, Motown Records, Barneys New York, Puff Daddy, TOOL, Bad Boy Entertainment, Universal Records, Atlantic Records, HBO, Canon, Nokia, Charles Schwab, New Riders Publishers and others.

In 2000, Davis authored the best-selling, now sold out book, “Flash to the Core: An Interactive Sketchbook”.

Currently, he is an active professional designer and creative thinker spending his time working with clients, traveling the world speaking at conferences and workshops, building his own creative projects, and teaching as a professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Flash on the Beach has brought together the most creative, technical, inspirational awe-inspiring, educational and entertaining industry leading speakers in the rich media industry.
