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.

     Oscar Wilde caused his own downfall when he sued for libel when he was accused of homosexuality. Private dectives soon found dozens of male prostitutes used by Wilde and he lost his case. He was subsequently arrested on morals charges and was sentenced to 2 years hard labor. During his last 3 years of life following his release from prison he took on an assumed name (Sebastian Melmoth) and moved to Paris where he returned to a homosexual lifestyle. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and one of the first intellectuals to create a cult of celebrity around his artistry.
