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.

Commons, Billboards, Dromos
Creative Commons are trying to protect shared creative (discursive for
you CS types) space from enclosure (and value extraction (asset
stripping / alienation)).
http://www.bollier.org/reclaim.htm
http://creativecommons.org/
One of "No Logo"'s theses is that public (civic) space is being fenced
off by brands (which is also value extraction (asset stripping /
alienation) however "sponsorship" or other trickle-downs are
misrepresented).
http://www.nologo.org/
This commonality of protecting shared space is important, and the two
critiques should look at each others historical models and contemporary
actions.
All of which makes me wonder whether Virillio has confused speed with
lack of space. Both mean you can move from place to place quicker, but
the ramifications are quite different...
