Danny Devos (born 20 September 1959), also known as DDV, is a Belgian artist whose work involves body art and performance art and a fascination with true crime. Since 1979 he has done over 160 performances and made several sculptural installations depicting violence, crime and murder. Since 1987 he has been corresponding with serial killers like Freddy Horion and Michel Bellen in Belgium and John Wayne Gacy in the USA. In 1981 he founded the artist initiative Club Moral with Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven. From 1998 until 2004 he was Social Commissioner and chairman of the NICC, the first association of Visual Artists in Belgium, where he was in charge of the Social Statute of the Artist. In 2005 he moved to Beijing in China to develop and manage Art Farm for colleague artist Wim Delvoye. From 2005 until recently he performed his piece 'Diggin' for Gordon', inspired by Gordon Matta-Clark, at a secret location and can only be seen by the audience through a webcam. His most recent works are based on Artificial Intelligence text-to-image renderings that are then used to produce 3D printing or CNC machined relief objects. Club Moral is also a pioneer noise music band. Apart from solo sound concerts, he also performs with Bum Collar, an improvisational noise band with Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven on electronics, Mauro Pawlowski on guitar, and Paul Mennes engineering and browntones.
