8 ft. (244 cm) high © 2015 Stephen Flavin/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York; courtesy David Zwirner,
New York/London. Consisting of three groups of vertically placed fluorescent lamps increasing from one to
three, this installation is a contemporary response to William of Ockham and symbolizes his claim that
universal ideas were abstract signs, while it alludes to his principle of theoretical parsimony as well.
