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.

This is very sad indeed. We are many with fond memories of Adrian in Norway, from his stay at the University of Bergen, and from his engagement in the Digital Arts and Culture conferences, which drew a quite large Scandinavian crowd. Adrian was a true pioneer in digital video, both making it and theorizing it, and thus always an inspiration for me. Vi lyser fred over hans minne. —anders Anders Fagerjord, dr.art.
