As part of Machine’s residency at the Hammer Museum in 2010, we invited the public to participate in a day-long sound installation. The work was composed of the sound of visitors wearing bells issued to them upon arrival and walking through museum spaces. Bell related sound pieces took place throughout the day, including circulating ice cream carts, an animatronic Bell Santa Gamelan in the museum’s coatroom, a solo amplified-bell performance, and an African bell ensemble.
Admission to the museum was free of charge to all participants.
