Karito

A recent trip to New York included a visit to the United Nations to view a temporary exhibit entitled Karito (meaning “love of one’s neighbor”).

Karito is an audio sculpture made from musical interpretations of the 192 national anthems of the United Nations member states layered upon one another, projected simultaneously from multiple sound sources. As one moves through the exhibit, surrounded by a graphic display of lyrics from these 192 anthems, the audio experience is ever changing, as the songs play at random, and the listener’s position alters. No 2 listeners will hear the same collection of sounds; no single listener will hear the same sound twice. The symbol…3 sets of 64 circles (totaling 192) each a perfect form in itself together, like the sound of each anthem, in accord, creating something even more beautiful. A memorable experience.

In this time of economic challenges, political uncertainties, and increasing human and environmental health threats, experiencing this exhibit in sight and sound brings to mind a sense of duty as well as a thread of hope. And with the holiday season approaching a consciousness to spend time and energy on the things that matter most.

Blanc Burgers & Bottles and The Winbury Group engaged Clockwork to design their latest Leawood location at Mission Farms- opening soon. The second location takes the all-white modern interior, fantastic food, and great beverage selection to another level. You may select from over 150 beers at Blanc (including Rogue!), and in our opinion they have the best burger in the city. We'll see you there.

A Healthier You

We were recently introduced to a great program at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City.

The idea is to schedule a health screening, use the online tools to become healthier, participate in programs, and receive support from BCBSKC throughout the process.

Clockwork has committed to becoming healthier. We had a physical, and became aware that we could be healthier. Over the past 12 weeks, we have reduced our cholesterol score over 120 points and lost a significant amount of weight. It feels great, and the lessons learned will stay with us for a lifetime.
