From art comes reaction...
reaction leads to response...
response leads to anger...
anger leads to the darkside...art is what you make out of it, sometimes the reaction is the purpose.

It's too cliche for words.
It also fails to bear in mind the 3,000 odd year's worth of history attributed to the 'swastika' symbol before the nazi's used it for their own purpose.
With this in mind it more or less says...'to be good'.

If you're gonna do something 'anti' do it with thought...look up the works of Seymour Chwast, Tomi Ungerer...etc.

i really think the history of the swastika pre nazi germany is irrelevant in terms of the digitalultras piece. In this day and age, it does not mean 'to be good', and i would think the swastika's definition in our society is secured for some time to come.
To suggest the artist failed to consider the symbol's meaning before nazi germany is really nitpicky. I dont think too many artists are worried that generations long dead might misinterpret their work.
A red octagon may not have meant 'stop' to precambrian man, but it does now.
artistically, i think its a pretty good piece. perhaps a bit cliche if youve seen it done before, but it does make a statement.

it's shrill. see godwin's law: invoking nazism means you have nothing real to say, you lost your argument already.

its pre-nazi meaning is irrelevant.
first off, and this is all you really need.... adolph himself was the designer of the (most?)famous symbol ever. if it existed previous to him, he didn't know about it... i've seen the sketches he drew, showing the evolution of the symbol.

sometimes pseudo-artists must be tough and handle consequences to earn recognition.

i think it's appropriate. i like it. and he's got a point.

that's the reason of it. a simple association with big Semiotic effect on Peoples brain.
If I did a photo of the Pope committing a Rape or something, I'd be a super Artist.
that's the way this biz works.

...unfortunately everyone notices the cliche...

i think we all get the artist point, thats what counts.
follow by that, the concept of antiamericanism (in terms of america's goverment policies not the people) is more about how you dress.
i would like that on a shirt.
- surfito0
antiamericanism it self has been cliche for a looooong long time.
for every country invaded by america, theres an anti america movement.

I'm fairly sure Hitler knew exactly what the swastika represented before he settled on it..
