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.

On being
You could do this in Haskell and lazily evaluate an infinite series of being.
This could tie into Badiou's ontology.
I don't know Haskell well enough to write such a program though.

Fart Lighting and Other Utopian Visons on the Web.
why is it that a medium that was developed with utopianist visions such as the rise of the global brain and united consciousness, evolved into possibly little more then a arena for fart lighting clips, beheadings, beat downs, ownage, the aforementioned skater face plants, dramatic look gophers and the star wars kid?
The film "Forbidden Planet" answers this question.
This is what I’m painting.. This is what fascinates me about the web. What’s my problem?
You are a Realist. You are depicting the aesthetic phenomena of a society given the means to externalise representations of its most base desires.
That said you could always Google for knitting circles or local community projects rather than beheadings.

The Corporate Takeover of The Web
...in America, at least, the corporate takeover of the Web is proceeding apace."
