Cathy Davies is a Los Angeles artist who uses information architecture and interface design to create user friendly propaganda. Her work intelligently circulates on digital networks and centers on art as a “gift economy,” graphic design as a service industry, and shoplifting from corporate and marketing culture.

She performed with Heather Cassils as a cloned Bill Gates in “Microsoft Me” (2001) at Edith Russ Site for Media Art in Oldenberg, Germany. Her web site “NeedCom: Market Research for Panhandlers” (1999) received funding from PBS Online and Web Lab, and is featured in the book Graphic Agitation 2 from Taaschen Press.

She founded Idle Time Software to disseminate her latest artistic venture, cinematic screen savers.
