2006 Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal

Author
Birchfield, David
Abstract
The proposed project is an interactive sonic and visual installation comprised of 45
freestanding robotic bells. Each bell is equipped with sensors, motors, and wireless networking
technology. Audience participants interact with the work by using their hands to strike or shake
any given bell. The gesture of their interaction is recorded and propagated throughout the bell
network, yielding a dynamic sound and movement event that reflects the confluence of a history
of previous interactions and the newly introduced energy.
