Tlim tlim!

Devia ir mais vezes à High Line. Digo isto, mas a verdade é que o tempo me foge. Escapa-se-me irremediavelmente, sem retorno. Enfim, lá estive na High Line no Sábado. Destaque para a instalação sonora do artista Stephen Vitiello, A Bell For Each Minute. O artista gravou sons de sinos, sinetas, campânulas, campainhas e afins, por toda a cidade. São 60 sons diferentes, desde o Closing Bell da NY Stock Exchange, passando por simples campainhas de bicicletas, até aos sinos e carrilhões de igrejas nos diferentes bairros nova-iorquinos. Cada som marca os minutos que perfazem uma hora. Uma viagem acústica, muito peculiar.
