About the Editor
The Journal’s editor Aron Ping D’Souza is an interdisciplinary scholar with research interest spanning cryptography and mathematics to intellectual property and theology. He is the author of The Art of Time: Toward a Fundamental Grammar of the Cinematic, which applies information system theory to sets of moving images using the theoretical work of Giles Deleuze. Currently, he is writing his Ph.D. on the moral justification for extended protections of Aboriginal iconography under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
