Joshua Davis

Joshua Davis is an American Designer, technologist, author and artist in new media. He is best known as the creator of praystation.com, winner of the Prix Ars Electronica 2001 Golden Nica for "Net Vision / Net Excellence”. An early adopter of open-source, offering the source code of the praystation.com composition and animation developments to the public. Since 1995, Joshua Davis, has made a career as an image maker using programming, he writes his own code, to produce interactions with users and to generate visual compositions according to rule-based, randomized processes. His work has been inducted into the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum, National Design Triennial 2006 “Design Life Now”, and has spoken at the TED and 99U conferences about his career in algorithmic image making and open source. Below are some designs that he has created, which to me seem a bit too much and therefore I will probably not use this as a template for my designs but may take aspects of the work like the colour schemes from some of the pieces.
