John Maclennan

John Maclennan is a Web designer who creates sites for unions, labour councils and community groups. He sees the Internet as a medium for artistic expression as well as for other forms of popular communication. His "cyber montages" are inspired by montage artists from the 1920s and 1930s in Russia, Germany and the United States and, more recently, by Toronto artists Richard Sly and Brian Davis.
His work, which brings together images from popular culture and daily life to satirize current political issues, is published regularly on rabble and on labour Web sites in the States. John is a member of CEP local 87M, a delegate to theToronto and York Region Labour Council and a long-time trade-union and social activist.
