SUMMARY:Databells Experience: An immersive art installation
DESCRIPTION:Databells is an immersive experience featuring a quirky and eclectic collection of reclaimed bells (from cowbells\, to jingle bells\, to doorbells\, to giant bells)\, all interconnected via sophisticated software which makes each bell chime in time to a large variety of statistics. Bells might ring when: “a star is born in our galaxy”\, “someone dies due to smoking”\, “a ship passes through the Suez canal”\, “an Amazon package is delivered”\, “Someone in this room just farted”\, and so on. This conceptual art piece gently guides the experiencer through a winding path of custom wood tables\, all arranged in an experiential statistical symphony.\n\nThis special exhibition experience is the first public showcasing of the Databells art installation by Rich Loen. As an immersive experience\, it dares to promise intrigue\, wonder\, whimsy\, and a sense of discoverability for you to explore.\n\nVisits must be scheduled through Eventbrite\, and will time slots are available from 10am-3pm (Thursday to Sunday) from September 25th to October 17th.\nREGISTER NOW
