Art and research about how systems represent, classify, and exercise power over human beings.
Josh Davila works across generative art, photography, AI ethics, and institutional analysis. Grounded in Kantian ethics and systems thinking, his practice examines legitimacy, representation, authorship, data ownership, disability, and the practical conditions under which people can understand and contest the systems governing their lives.
