A heads up.
This PhotoStory is "quite" different than the others!!
A sign topped with a banana by a deserted looking building at Carling and Woodroffe had been intriguing us. Then an announcement appeared on the sign: Databells. So to find out what was going on we booked free tickets to the show.
The deserted looking building is Salon Des Bananes which describes itself as "an avant-garde art exhibition space dedicated to immersive and experiential art exhibits".
We knew it was going to be avantgarde when we spotted this coffee table in the waiting area
Databells says it is "an immersive experience featuring a whimsical and eclectic collection of bells, ringing to the beat of the statistics they're connected to".
Once into the installations space we understood better that each bell (maybe 100±) rang in accordance to a particular statistic.
For example, this bell rings 35 times per minute and each ring represents 100,000 YouTube videos being watched.
The installation is in largish area adjacent to an artist's workshop. The show ran for 3 weeks on extended weekends. Viewings were available each hour. We visited the second last day just before noon hour, with perhaps 10 others.
The bells were arranged on three long snake-like tables
A few of the bells...
Many of the statistics to which the bells were ringing
(Yes the photography and processing is inconsistent, but I don't think anyone is going to read all 99 of these)
