Artist Bio
Davies’ cross-disciplinary practice is informed by an interest in the role of agency both in and beyond the context of musical performance. Using electric muscle stimulation and other methods to obstruct and extend human capabilities, her work has been presented internationally at venues and festivals including the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry, Experimental Intermedia (New York), ISEA, Mona Foma Festival (Hobart), and at Sonica Festival (UK) where she was 2013 Artist in Residence. Davies holds a Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Sydney, and is an Australian Music Centre represented artist. She has been awarded a Creative Australia Fellowship for early career artists from the Australia Council for the Arts, and received the Prix Ars Electronica 2015 Honorary Mention for Digital Musics & Sound Art.
