Akron: s.p. (Ono), 2017
8.1 x 1.5cm dia. plastic and metal battery operated flashlight with printed text “ONOCHORD AKRON y.o. 2017”. An object multiple distributed free at an Ono exhibition at the University of Akron with the intent of visitors being instructed to perform the following:
“In a series of short flashes, either by flashlight or hand signals or other means, Yoko Ono would like you to flash in this sequence:
1 flash. 2 flashes. 3 flashes. Which now means I Love You.
Flash it from rooftops, from ships at sea, at parties and clubs, across a shop, to people on the street from a bus,
spread love to all the people you encounter:
i. ii. iii. I. Love. You.”
The battery still works as of posting this in 2024 – and the light works. We do not guarantee this will continue but for now it is in VG+ state. Scarce.
