ONOCHORD DOCUMENTARY FILM

explains more of the history and philosophy of Yoko Ono’s ONOCHORD.

 

ONOCHORD TORCHES

are to hold in your hand and flash “i ii iii” (I love you) to one another.

  

ONOCHORD POSTCARDS

are to explain the message and send to your friends.

  

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER DOCUMENTARY

BOAT RIDES

Also outside the VISITORS CENTER are some boats in which you can travel around the island.

 

CONTROL PANEL

These are stationed around the island, and enable various modes of dancing as well as teleporting you to different vantage points on and above the island:

 

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER WISHING WELL

The wishing well of IMAGINE PEACE TOWER consists of white panels inscribed with the words IMAGINE PEACE in 24 different languages

 

CLOUDS

There are 4 CLOUDS – at 125m, 225m, 300m and 500m. Inspired by the writings from Yoko’s GRAPEFRUIT and her album artwork for IMAGINE and LIVE PEACE IN TORONTO, these are platforms where you can take in the view, meet, talk and dance, while clouds magically form under your feet. You can fly or teleport between these platforms using the CONTROL PANEL, and from the top platform, you can take a parachute jump back down to the base and enjoy the view.

 

HOT SPRING SPA

Volcanic springs are common in Iceland. In fact, the real IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is entirely run on Geothermal Energy – from naturally occurring hot water. Here is a place to meditate, unwind and enjoy the view.

 

HOT AIR BALLOON

Inspired by John and Yoko’s film ‘Apotheosis” (which was all filmed from a hot air balloon) you can take a ride around the island on the IMAGINE PEACE balloon.

Tolly is £28/$45 and limited to just 30 pieces, each comes with a goody bag full of exclusive stickers and a collectible black version of the enamel Cavey badge.

Around the winter solstice, Fairbanks is dark. How dark? Well, this is the Sun at noon. Looks like a sunset. The Sun sets at 2:40 pm, while it rises at 10:58 am (for about 4 days around the solstice --you can find official times here). We do get gorgeous atmospheric light though for a few more hours of the day. So, even though the day is only about 3 hrs. and 40 minutes long, we do get some time with some gorgeous, seemingly unnatural colors.

 

One of the best screensavers I've ever seen. Check it out at www.simonheys.com/wordclock

Anyway...

The daylight time has gained over an hour since winter solstice, so we're getting there! :-)

Castle of Vay Ádám, Vaja

Vaja is an old settlement: historians found the first record about the village in a document from the end of the 13th century. The former Vay castle was built in Renaissance style, now it houses the Vay Ádám Museum. It is worth seeing the exhibition on Rákóczi and Rákóczi's War of Independence. In 1703 Rákóczi had a discussion on the starting of the war of independence with Ádám Vay in the Rákóczi room on the second floor and later he had a talk with General Pálffy about the conditions of a possible peace treaty in the same place. The fresco on the ceiling of the room shows how Titusz Vay rescued King Sigismund in the battle of Nikapol (1396). There is a Kuruts gallery of sculptures in the park of the castle. The Calvinist church was built in the 14th century, it is of Gothic origin, the tower is from 1824. The grave and obelisk of Ádám Vay, the marshal of Ferenc Rákóczi II., can be seen in front of it. The house of the Regional Traditions is situated in a peasant-house built in the second half of the 19th century. Near the village you can find the Lake of Vaja, or Old-Lake.

When you arrive at the island, you will first visit the VISITORS CENTER.

  

IN THE VISITORS CENTER:

ONOCHORD DOCUMENTARY FILM

explains more of the history and philosophy of Yoko Ono’s ONOCHORD.

 

ONOCHORD TORCHES

are to hold in your hand and flash “i ii iii” (I love you) to one another.

  

ONOCHORD POSTCARDS

are to explain the message and send to your friends.

  

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER DOCUMENTARY

explains the history and philosophy of Yoko Ono’s IMAGINE PEACE TOWER.

  

IMAGINE PEACE POSTCARDS, BUTTONS, T-SHIRTS etc

are free and for you to share with your friends.

 

IMAGINE PEACE & IMAGINE PEACE TOWER BOOKS

are available to read in the VISITORS CENTER.

  

WISH TREES

Outside the VISITORS CENTER and around the island you will find WISH TREES.

Make a WISH and your wish will also be sent to the real life IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Iceland.

 

BOAT RIDES

Also outside the VISITORS CENTER are some boats in which you can travel around the island.

 

CONTROL PANEL

These are stationed around the island, and enable various modes of dancing as well as teleporting you to different vantage points on and above the island:

 

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER WISHING WELL

The wishing well of IMAGINE PEACE TOWER consists of white panels inscribed with the words IMAGINE PEACE in 24 different languages

 

CLOUDS

There are 4 CLOUDS – at 125m, 225m, 300m and 500m. Inspired by the writings from Yoko’s GRAPEFRUIT and her album artwork for IMAGINE and LIVE PEACE IN TORONTO, these are platforms where you can take in the view, meet, talk and dance, while clouds magically form under your feet. You can fly or teleport between these platforms using the CONTROL PANEL, and from the top platform, you can take a parachute jump back down to the base and enjoy the view.

 

HOT SPRING SPA

Volcanic springs are common in Iceland. In fact, the real IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is entirely run on Geothermal Energy – from naturally occurring hot water. Here is a place to meditate, unwind and enjoy the view.

 

HOT AIR BALLOON

Inspired by John and Yoko’s film ‘Apotheosis” (which was all filmed from a hot air balloon) you can take a ride around the island on the IMAGINE PEACE balloon.

Beginning October 9th you can find the Second Life IMAGINE PEACE TOWER here.
