Melissa Dubbin & Aaron S. Davidson have worked collaboratively since 1998. Their projects are multi-disciplinary in nature and include practices in video, sculpture, sound, performance and works on paper.

Dubbin & Davidson have collaborated on projects with Pierre Huyghe, Morton Subotnick, LOT/EK, Woody & Steina Vasulka, and free103point9 among others.
