Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    Dolce & Gabbana have enjoyed the free advertising that ads are likely to offend get when there are complaints but this ad perhaps steps into an area of morality that many feel should be regulated. In the image the woman is being held down in a position that is highly suggestive of rape and the several men looking on with interest are suggestive of a potential gang bang or pack rape. This passes beyond simple sexual suggestiveness with implications of pleasures to come, to a world of sexual violence. All of these men are meant to be looking cool, but is it really cool to appear in this kind of imagery?
