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.
