... what does this mean ?

The trailer tells us very little about what Joe Davis is doing (except for the fact that he is doing something quite “different”).  Although, we can figure out from the blog post and the trailer that Joe Davis is also trying to communicate with the Aliens.   His methods combine art with science.  A movie was just made about him, which you can find here: http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2011/09/heaven-earth-joe-davis.php. Davis works at MIT and is an artist/scientist who sounds like such the genius. One of his goals is to find a way to spread things such as “hope” (perhaps through bacteria); things which are not part of human DNA, but make humans so much of what they are.

I would also recommend taking a look at Daniel Eatock’s website. Maybe it’s ironic that his last name is Eatock because a lot of his work has to do with food. I was drawn into his website because of the fast food photographs, which creatively mock advertisers play-on-words when it comes to showing us what to eat (with packaging, billboards, ads, etc). You can get to his website from here: http://eatock.com/

a full packet of crisps chewed into a pulp, spat out, and formed into the shape of a potato.

Also, take a look at these photos. They are various photojournalist photos from the past year, and some are bound to at least make your eyes open wide. http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/nor-index.php?page=3 .  The images go through various disasters from the past year.  What a powerful planet we live on.
