dailybell: SUNSET 2/19/08

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.

SUNSET 2/19/08

Volkswagens Born Here

The Volkswagen factory dominates the town of Wolfsburg. Or maybe it is the town. In the time before the Iron Curtain came down, this area was at the edge of West Germany. It took hours to get here and was not a destination for any visitors. Now, because of the Volkswagen factory, people come here. If you buy a Volkswagen, you can come here and pick up your car right from the factory as it comes off the line. It's personal.
