BIO
Rob Myers is an artist and hacker based in the UK.

I have been creating images of the contemporary social and cultural environment through programming, design software and visual remixing since the early 1990s. My work is influenced by popular culture and high art in equal measures. My interest in remixing and sampling has led to my involvement in the Free Culture movement. I have been involved in the public consultation regarding the Creative Commons 2.0 and CC-UK licenses. All my visual art is available under a Creative Commons license.

My interest in programming has led to my involvement with the Free Software movement. I developed the Macintosh version of the Gwydion Dylan programming language compiler. All my software is available under the GNU GPL.

Yes.

ffs don't let them do the New Labour thing of going Conservative rather
than coming up with a compelling critique and alternative.

The irony of course being that Warhol himself lost a lawsuit over the
image he appropriated to make the flower paintings. I forget how much
he had to pay in damages.

Now if only the work had been under a Creative Commons license. :-)
