The magnifying glass: Yes ::
B. and I went to see Just a Kiss tonight. Over dinner he told me a story about Yoko Ono’s interactive installation Ceiling Painting. The viewer is invited to climb a white ladder, at the top of which is a magnifying glass through which the viewer discovers “Y E S” written in small letters on a panel above, suspended from the ceiling. John Lennon met Ono through this exhibit. (Wow, Y E S Yoko Ono was at the San Francisco MOMA, where I just went to an event last week. And the exhibit ended on 8 September, the day before my first Coincidence entry.)
Anyhow, at dinner B. told me that Yes (the band) were inspired by the Ono work in choosing their name.
After we took our seats in the movie theater, B. took out his cell phone and turned off the ringer. After I did the same, I watched him push a last button, long enough to be reminded that he’s customized his phone’s greeting (always present on the main display) to say “Yes.” I looked up at the screen and within seconds, a new advertising slide appeared, featuring a football player looking through a magnifying glass!
