Known for her Naked Happening outside New York's stock exchange (1968) and various hippie orgies, Yayoi Kusama was regarded as a leading post-modernist living artist.  Let us first recognize two facts:  having sexual orgies with a bunch of drug addicts will not stop (a) war, and it is impossible to affect the New York Stock Exchange with polka dots, unless you are buying or selling them.

That being said, Hippie culture seems like nothing more than validated hedonism.  Let's raise awareness of this disease by throwing a bitchin' concert!  Make love, not war!  The very concept of having fun is comparably as important and reactionary as revolting against the technocracy.  On that note, we do not live in a Orwellian dystopia, it is really not as bad as people make it out to be.  Certainly, not everyone is living in a monotonous, bleak, and unfulfilled world, and subversive drug and sex abuse isn't going to free your body and mind, though you might get some bitchin' STDs.
