The Bell Project
August 30 - October 6, 2006
We're not that far yet, but we are on the way.
Please come back to find out when and where the bell will ring. I will post a blog entry after I visit the city on the interactive map.

An acoustic cross-country adventure. If a bell rings in a shopping mall parking lot, will anyone respond? On September 1, 2006, I set out on a cross-country, sound-performance journey to investigate the public's interactions with and reactions to the sonorous tones of a 250-pound cast-iron bell. From Michigan to New York to San Francisco, I am ringing the bell in small towns, city parks, shopping malls, rest stops, and more.
The Bell. The Route.
THIS BLOG HOSTS PHOTOS, VIDEOS AND SOUND FROM THIS TRIP. THE BELL PROJECT FINISHED AT THE EXPLORATORIUM ON OCTOBER 6, 2006. AT THAT TIME, I DONATED THE BELL TO THE MUSEUM DURING THE OPENING OF THEIR NEW "LISTEN: MAKING SENSE OF SOUND" PROJECT. I WOULD TO THANK THE EXPLORATORIUM FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT.

A NEW PROJECT
DAILYBELL2008
PLEDGE:
Beginning on Monday evening December 31, 2007, at 5:01 PST, I will attempt to ring a bell everyday at sunrise and sunset for the entire year of 2008. I invite others to join me wherever you are and post to the blog if you wish. On some occasions, I will announce ahead of time where I will be and people can join me at a particular location.
INVITATION:
To ring a bell everyday at a particular time is a commitment. I don't know if I am capable of it, but I would like to try. Please help. Find a bell that you like. Look up the times for the sunrise and sunset in your area. One of the things I am looking forward to is being directly in touch with the cycle of sunrise and sunset as it changes throughout the year. Please join me and spread the word.

Hi Brenda,
Wow, cool project! What time are you ringing the bell at Arlington cemetery on Sept. 11? I may be able to drive into DC to witness it.

I saw you on the Beltway (495) yesterday Sept. 10 around where the Ikea is and wanted to see what this was all about. Where are the blogs about each city? I wanted to see the Annapolis one since I am from that town. lisa
I saw you outside of Orlando on I4 on the 16th. I saw the bell and your little Honda and couldn't help but take a look at the site. We didn't get to hear the bell but I think this is an interesting thing you are doing. Good Luck!

Trolling for ringers...
Ask not for whom the bell trolls;
Bell pro trolls for thee.
