How about the oppressive onslaught of the digital age ruining the lives of free people in a “1984” kinda way?
Not sure i’d want a logo of Facebook as (part of) a tattoo as in 10 years time people might be asking wtf is Facebook? Or at least I hope that Facebook disappears up its own arse with a puff of smoke and a slight pop. Sorry, I hate social media - he says typing a message on it... Oh, the irony...
It's a personal thing I guess, but I don't have a problem with the law enforcement community's use of technology, within a bounded context covered by legislative oversight to catch 'kiddie-fiddlers', drug dealers, murderers, rapists, terrorists and the like, but get terribly cross about how companies like Google, Facebook, Insurance Companies, Financial Sector, NHS, loyalty schemes, etc, etc, etc, collude to share or commercial exchange intimate details of every aspect of peoples lives for commercial gain - often without the targets of that profiling even knowing about it. Google genuinely knows more about you than you would care to want, and you don't even need to have ever used their services - in the US they buy from credit card companies details of citizen card transactions, they fuse and match data from others (e.g. contacts in phones , web searches, DNS look ups, gmail and social media (plus more sources) - why do you think Android is free?) to build networks of associations - to harvest and exploit location information, interests, political, religious, sexuality, social and consumer preferences. Nobody seems to give a poo about that though... Politicians don't understand technology - like the Japanese Cyber Tsar who hasn't got a computer and doesn't know how they work. Bonkers - you really couldn't make it up! Hence they don't do enough to control the likes of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twitter etc. A tattoo covering all that would be amazing but as surreal as a M. C. Escher drawing... It might end up being quite a big tattoo... Sorry - this should have gone in the Rant of the Day thread... Someone please get us back onto tats
I agree totally... the picture I used was to show that artists can portray concepts which is normal folk get cross about... look at Banksy!
Spy Booth is my favoratest (is that a word?) Banksy. Just wish he had put little 'press' cards in their hats - as at the time there was all that Press Hacking stuff going on...
