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.

CNN made their name covering Gulf War I. If some hippie peacenik is elected, they'll lose their most interesting source material.

Subtle? :-)

Rhizome is a non-profit organisation. It cannot do politics under
American law.
Although Rhizome can't support a pro- or anti- war stance, this list is
an excellent resource for news and information that you can't get
through the mainstream media. So I'd say Rhizome is playing its part.

Reading and writing is relative to each media. We don't use styli and clay anymore, CDs can be +RW. Reading and writing today means reading and writing the media of that contemporary conversation. Against this backdrop, "mashing" is mass literacy, cultural particpation.
