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.

Bubble's lovely.

I think you've got something important there. We *need* relaxation, we
*need* to get away from information. Cramming information in to
decoration and every environmental cue is just adding to the overload.

You clearly don't own enough Mathmos products. :-)

Re: Righting copywrongs


Lessig's book is brilliant. I bought a print copy from the US, it's
well worth a read.

Read, read! :-)
