Databells Debut – Opening Night Vernissage

This opening night event is the official debut of the Databells art installation by Rich Loen. As an immersive experience, it dares to promise intrigue, wonder, whimsy, and a sense of discoverability for you to explore. Special to the opening night is a reveal experience that will be uniquely performed only at this vernissage event. As an attendee, you can expect to be part of the unveiling experience, as you are welcomed through the Databells installation. Accompanying this will be a live jazz performance (you’ll have to guess who, because this is a surprise!). There will also be an assortment of catering and drinks for you to enjoy as part of this very unique metropolitan-feeling art experience, right here in Ottawa.

Databells is an immersive experience featuring a quirky and eclectic collection of reclaimed bells (from cowbells, to jingle bells, to doorbells, to giant bells), all interconnected via sophisticated software which makes each bell chime in time to a large variety of statistics. Bells might ring when: “a star is born in our galaxy”, “someone dies due to smoking”, “a ship passes through the Suez canal”, “an Amazon package is delivered”, “Someone in this room just farted”, and so on. This conceptual art piece gently guides the experiencer through a winding path of custom wood tables, all arranged in an experiential statistical symphony.
