Walking chimes

A collaboration by Taeyoon Choi and Christine Sun Kim
We created a hybrid of both bells and wind chimes, each activated by different people’s walks. We observed a number of local people walking on this very block, and rendered each person’s different rhythm, passing time with the wind chimes.
We invite you to press and hold the red button to listen to people passing time.
