Here is my homage to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who had won in the reader's poll conducted by Time Magazine as the Person of the Year. My art print incorporates public domain images and text of code from the recent Embassy Cables, in a new creative design that underscores Julian's philosophy and commitment to full internet transparency in this information age. The image doubles as one of those rare instances where my graphic approach links up with contemporary world views.

Assange is a symbol for those who yearn to live in a world free from hegemony, secrets, lies, wars and repression. His work is widely supported throughout the world (75% from December 21st Poll by ZDnet) more so than it is domestically at 51%, but the fact is that he has not been charged with breaking any existing laws throughout the world and WikiLeaks release of confidential documents is supported by every major newspaper worldwide as being in the public's best interest. In a recent article appearing in Spiegel International, Thomas Darnstadt comments that, "Since 9/11, press freedom in the West has come under attack as governments argue that national security is more important than transparency. But the hunt for WikiLeaks is a greater danger to democracy than any information that WikiLeaks might reveal."

On February 2, 2011, Wikileaks was nominated for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize according to news reports appearing on RAWSTORY. Norwegian, parliamentarian Snorre Valen, Wikileaks was "one of the most important contributors to freedom of speech and transparency... By disclosing information about corruption, human rights abuses and war crimes, Wikileaks is a natural contender for the Noel Peace Prize."
