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.

Thanks a lot for this place, where people can leave their ideas and opinions, it's great!With the best regards!
Dear Brenda,
While you might find it soothing, cathartic or "artistic" to ring that god damn bell EVERY night-
(yes I know you live in the purple house with the peace flag in the window)
It is, in fact, LOUD, annoying, and obnoxious. Clearly you think the need for ear protection is needed as demonstrated by you wearing some, so why not spare the rest us us and ring that thing inside your own garage-with the door closed...(and the cow bells too!) or would that mean the Miata would need to be parked on the street?
You are not the only people on this block... try to remember that the next time you feel the need for some noisy self indulgence.
Sincerely,
Your Neighbors
Dear neighbors-
You are not the only neighbors on the block either. There are several others who enjoy and join me for this sunset ritual. In fact, you may notice that some of our other neighbors are the ones actually ringing the bell. Instead of publishing anonymous comments on the internet, why don't you come on out next time you hear the bell and speak to me directly? In other words, since we are neighbors why not come out and discuss it in person. I look forward to meeting you. Because, unlike you, I don't know your name or which house you live in.
Brenda

Hey - I am certainly happy to find this. cool job!
When you refuse to face the [url=http://xcutivelife.com/blog_entry.php?user=louis01vuitton&blogentry_id=25547]louis01vuitton[/url]
truth, you deceive yourself and live in falsehood, also known as denial.
The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s apathy. When you hate, you’re still polarized, but when you’re apathetic you can’t even get yourself to care enough to hate, much less love.
And when you’re powerless, you can hardly muster any [url=http://hotload.ru/blog/2629.html]louis vuitton pas cher[/url]
ability to change your life.
The more you direct your life towards Falsehood, Apathy [url=http://my.foto75.in.ua/louis01vuitton/2012/05/05/most-women-like-wearing-tiffany-jewelry-so-famous-stars-are/]most-women-like-wearing-tiffany-jewelry-so-famous-stars-are[/url]
and Powerlessness, the more you’ll regress in your life instead of improve.
The secondary principles of personal atrophy are Separation, Timidity and Submission.
When you live in denial and can’t be bothered to care, you feel separated from your life, your surroundings and other living beings.
When you’re powerlessness and apathetic, [url=http://www.monclercoats4uk.co.uk]Moncler[/url]
you live life timidly because you don’t believe you have the power to overcome challenges, and you lack the motivation to even try.
Living in denial and powerlessness causes [url=http://www.itmonclersito.com]Moncler[/url]
you to live in submission, or passivity. Instead of being the power in your life, you allow yourself to bow down to circumstances.
The six principles of personal atrophy in their totality become foolishness. Whereas moving towards Truth, Love and Power is a more intelligent way to live your life, moving towards Falsehood, Apathy and Powerlessness is a foolish way to spend it.
Personal Development Vs. Personal Atrophy
I’m not looking to add on to Steve’s [url=http://www.moncleroutlet4jackets.com]Moncler[/url]
book here, I think he did a pretty good job of it already.
I offer the principles of personal atrophy as food for thought, and whereas the seven core principles of personal development are a good gauge to aim for, the seven core principles of personal atrophy can serve as warning signs to tell you where you don’t want to go.
P.S. By the way, I didn’t consult The Steve when I made this…I wonder if I nailed it. What do you think?
Hello Keep up with The excellent posts.Thank you
Great website! I love what you have put together here! Awesome blog!

Be careful though, as the Navajo Reservation stays on Mountain time in the Summer, while Arizona, which has no
daylight savings time switch, is Pacific time.
Some people even remodel their garages at the same time they build a
pool. Why does the look in her eyes make you want to cry.

ToԀay, І went to thе beachfront with my kіds. I found a sea ѕhell and gave
it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her eɑr
and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this iis totally
off topic but I had to tell someone!
