Oh, how very sad, Vale Adrian, and my condolences to his family and all who knew him well! Adrian was probably Australia's most experimental and boundary-pushing blogger-artist-scholar, but more than that I know he was an incredibly passionate and valued educator. Personally, while I knew him for years before from the Australian blogosphere, I will always remember Adrian from our shared panel at the AoIR conference in Brisbane in 2006 (my first AoIR) where, after listening to him, I realised just how fascinating this nascent videoblogging stuff might be. Turns out Adrian had a pretty good sense of what was coming, years before most. -Tama On Thu, Feb 8, 2018 at 8:22 AM, Jeremy Hunsinger <jhuns@vt.edu> wrote:
Several of you have likely heard, but Adrian Miles of RMIT passed away. He was a member of the AoIR community and was at Internet Research 3.0 Net/Work/Theory in Maastricht. Adrian was also a figure at the Digital Arts and Culture conferences which was one of the touchstone conferences after which the early AoIR tried to model itself. He was most well known and a leading scholar/artist for his contributions in vlogging , hypertexts and non-linear video. Academically, he was collegial and kind in the best spirit of AoIR. He will be missed.
