I was trolling through my Delicious looking for some design to blog about when I instead found this—Yoko Ono’s Flickr.* I don’t know why I’m still surprised when I see something like Flickr used by a celebrity/famous person/etc and actually used well. Maybe its just because its wierd to me that Yoko Ono and I can be Flickr contacts. Even though she would have to do nothing for this to happen and I would just have to click a button so there’ s no actual connection.
Yoko Ono: “Yes” at Indica Gallery, 1996. You probably know the story but the piece is still great by itself.
Regardless of whether Ono and myself will be commenting on each other’s family vacations, this is a pretty amazing resource. If there were contact info on the profile page I would say she wouldn’t even need a website. There’s so much to get lost in—her written work (which is such a weird and great use of Flickr), interviews (especially cool are the late-60’s interviews with her and John Lennon with amazing Lennon quotes like “The establishment doesn’t exist. All that exists are old people, and when young people get through and change it, they will be it. They will be the Establishment.”), art and event documentation and cool stuff like John and Yoko visiting Niagara Falls.
