Smile Flux Machine for Yoko Ono
View through Harvard Museums
Plastic box with printed label featuring a printed photograph of a human face, the mouth of which two hands are forcing into a smile. These words are printed along the side: "smile flux machine for yoko ono by george maciunas." Inside there is a small contraption (made of hardware, a spring, and two pieces of plastic) that might conceivably (ironically) be used to force lips into a smile.
