SOUND PIECE V #30

Yoko Ono’s _SOUND PIECE V_ (1996/2024) is newly realized as a digital, on-chain interactive work. Ono transformed the traditional musical score into an instruction, simple written prompts that elicit everyday sounds — which are, in turn, revealed to be extraordinary: “Tape the sound of friends laughing together. / Save it for a rainy day.” Each time the piece is performed, participants can add their recordings, successively building an ever-evolving archive of sound.
