Dear Colleagues, Filtering and the Internet should definitely be an issue for ARLIS/NA. This semester I am teaching a 3-credit course called Introduction to Information Literacy. We came to the session where we discuss censorship. I wanted to show my students Andres Serrano's Piss Christ. My image search was conducted on Google and up came two images of the photograph and two icons. Knowing this should not be the result, I noticed my computer was automatically(?) set on "moderate filtering (filter both explicit text and explicit images)." Without the filtering, I received 177 hits. Who decided this image should be censored and why? We must prevent this sort of thing from happening to works of art. What are some of things we could do?
