Joe Davis (artist)
Joe Davis (born 1951) is a research affiliate in the Department of Biology at MIT, and in the George Church Laboratory at Harvard Medical School. His research and art includes work in the fields of molecular biology, bioinformatics, "space art", and sculpture, using media including but not limited to centrifuges, radios, prosthetics, magnetic fields, and genetic material. Davis' teaching positions have been at MIT and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
Davis' works include the sculpture ''Earth Sphere'', a landmark fog fountain at Kendall Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, near the MIT campus; ''RuBisCo Stars'', a transmission of a message to nearby stars from the Arecibo Observatory radiotelescope in Puerto Rico, carried out in November 2009;〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=18 Nov 2009 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ET: Check your voicemail (from MIT News) )〕 ''New Age Ruby Falls'', a project to create an artificial aurora using a 100,000 watt electron beam fired into the magnetosphere from a NASA space shuttle (which has not yet been carried out); and ''Microvenus'', a piece of symbolic art involving engineering the genetic code of a microbe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Artistic Molecules, Microbes, and the "Listening Microscope".

==Significance==
Davis' work has been featured in articles in ''Scientific American'', ''Nature'' magazine, and several books. Additionally, Davis has contributed to projects associated with the DIYbio movement. He is frequently invited to speak at universities, labs, and art institutes. Davis' life was further detailed in a feature-length documentary entitled ''Heaven and Earth and Joe Davis''. Davis has had many media appearances including appearing twice on the ''Colbert Report''. In 2001, the ''Washington Post'' termed Davis the "éminence grise of the 'bioart' movement", saying further, "Davis eschews the art versus science argument, insisting that he speaks both languages and could not possibly tear the two disciplines apart in his own mind".
Davis' work has further significance in documenting and critiquing early attempts at steganographic encoding of culturally important messages and images for future generations or extraterrestrial cultures.〔 Davis has stated that he does not wish to create "green rabbits or purple dogs", but rather to manipulate the reams of silent, "junk DNA" that comprise more than 90% of an organism's genetic code.
