I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.
The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.
This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .
You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.
Going to have to learn some new tools.
Moving forward I’m interested in exploring the uncomfortable yet hypnotising spaces in which we find ourselves reflected by the machines we have created.
The Mavin System explores the transition of computational aesthetics from virtual to physical space. Tech-art installations that signify nature end up expressing an atmosphere that is abstract and alien. This is the logic of the machine.
The Mavin System creates spatialised media intensities through networked, nodal, luminosonic devices.
Here’s a preview of the work:

The Mavin System has several future incarnations...it’s a sophisticated and complex system that I plan to continue working on.
It’s the distillation of a lot of thinking and hand-wringing. It also involved lots of soldering, 3D printing, electronics, and C++ software development.
Tomorrow will be the first public showing of my installation The Mavin System, in the Industrial School of the Sacred Heart building at the Abbotsford Convent. It’ll be running from 10am to 6pm.

Never forget. Never turn your back on #Ukraine 🇺🇦.

“Is that what he says?,” asked Prince Charles when learning Scott Morrison was still on the fence about attending #COP26. “If we don't really take the decisions which are vital now it's going to be almost impossible to catch up.”@abcnews @jack_hawke

When the Covid Safe app was released, so many people in tech lauded it as a positive development. At the time I felt like I was one of the few voices who could see through the spin. Ultimately, an app, properly done, could have been useful. #COVIDSafe #auspol
