 Race, White and Blue: Artist John Sims Colonizes the Confederate Flag
For Sims, all of the various Confederate flags (there were several different designs used during the Civil War and he has recolored them all) are potent symbols of terror and "recoloring" them is a way to colonize their power.
The Recoloration Proclamation flags are meant to be hung, and it is by hanging the flags that the artist is able to reference the culture of violence that was the basis of and that survives as the legacy of the Confederacy: the antebellum history of slavery and the subsequent terrorism of lynching.
Sims' interest in reaching a wide segment of society through visual mathematics is further witnessed in an ambitious public art program he's developing for the city of Sarasota, FL.: a geometrically designed mural garden in Newtown, a predominantly fl and historically under-served neighborhood.

 Lawyer Disciplinary Board v. Sims, No. 28473
Sims does not argue that he did not make the public statements or commit the acts complained of; rather, he argues that his case should be referred back to the three-judge panel for a decision regarding whether sanctions beyond removal from office are warranted.
The statements made by Sims during the investigation are unfair to the assessor not only because the statements could prevent a subsequent fair jury trial, but also because they publicly malign the assessor and at the same time deny him any forum in which to respond to defend himself.
In the final analysis, Sims' deliberate practice and pattern of repeatedly making extrajudicial statements which had a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing adjudicative proceedings is clearly an aggravating factor to be considered by this Court in imposing a sanction.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: John Sims
Now, these John Sims people do a scaled down version of the Stereolab analogue attack, sporting a low-fi pop aesthetic.
The familiar drone of solid-state synth is pleasantly augmented by brittle pop melodies, as on the beautiful "Program", but John Sims can kick out an estimable jam, too; "When I Lived on Page 56" ably demonstrates this, dropping a seething beat and feedback-flattened guitar fuzz amid the droning and blipping.
And when you see John Sims live, I don't think you'll have to be an obsessive fan to recognize individual songs!
