Re: the second image half-way down the article:
I don't understand why people keep on coming up with novel overly complicated ways to censor images. Just use a black polygon. Not the "spray can", not a bunch of scribbles with the "pen" tool, not a distorted twist tool, not the acid inspired thing used in this case...
Is the idea here to "accidentally" leak the censored information while giving yourself plausible deniability? It appears awfully reversible...
- IvyMike 13y agoI think it might be the second--a protest against the need for self censorship. Along those lines, a local DJs admitted that whenever he bleeped profanity, he actually put the beep after whatever word was being censored. Like "What the fuckBEEP". He claimed he never got a single complaint.
- jlgreco 13y agoIt seems to be at least standard practice to let the leading "f-" through.. rather pointless censorship if you ask me.
- DanBC 13y agoI agree. It's weird. I'm sure there are people who can tell who that is, just by squinting a bit. > not the acid inspired thing used in this case... I'd be interested to know what it is - pseudo CMYK halftone or Ben-Day dots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben-Day_dots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben-Day_dots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftone
- subb 13y agoIt's a filter in Photoshop called color halftone.
- l0stb0y 13y agoIt's art. It's VICE. That's why!
