dailybell: SUNRISE 2/20/08

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

SUNRISE 2/20/08

Strength Through Joy Car

Sunrise looking at the smokestacks of the Volkswagen Factory in Wolfsburg. This is the factory that has been making Volkswagens since 1939. The car was originally conceived by Adolph Hitler to be an affordable car for the average German. Volkswagen means “people’s car”, but at first it was known as the KDF car “Kraft- Durch- Freude or Strength Through Joy”.
