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.
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.

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.
Julian’s extradition order is under appeal and a decision is coming soon. If extradited, he faces a max prison sentence of 175 years.
Let’s make it clear to the US government that he has the full support of the Australian community.
Exposing war crimes is not a crime
@SheReadsSheNoms @keithgow You are basically contradicting yourself there. "I'm not racist, but...". Check out the remaster of Das Boot. It goes for 3 1/2 hours and is spellbinding. All films can be indulgent, length being one contributing factor.
@ChrisFitzMelb@IRanalyst@David_AllThatIs He's been arguing that for a while actually. He's obsessed with US ethnocentrism over EU democracy and Ukrainian lives.
@aaronjmate You don't have to be a "foreign policy expert" to know that Ukraine agreed not to become part of NATO at the start of the conflict. However this invasion was never about NATO. Read Navalny's latest article. https://t.co/eDmhuW8Wr8
@NathanJRobinson By devastating counterattack you mean flat out denial? Rather, Chomsky comes across as as super defensive, but the fact remains he quoted Lavrov in calling for a demilitarisation of Ukraine, which is obviously why they are upset - https://t.co/MVYun4VnaQ
In today's @DailyMailUK I go inside occupied Kherson. This is what #Russia 🇷🇺 does in all the places it occupies.
Never forget. Never turn your back on #Ukraine 🇺🇦.

@FARED_ALHOR @janetnewenham This is just grossly ignorant. "Someone from outside of Syria". So basically the Russians on Assad's request.
Social media influencer at their worst
@cfkschaller@Bitwig@PipewireP Does Bitwig support native Pipewire now? This sounds amazing. I love open source but Bitwig has completely transformed pro audio under Linux ❤️
