desa-kala-patra

Desa-Kala-Patra is a water-sensing gong; it imagines an automated instrument that facilitates rituals at the coming of rain.

It is an instrument guided by the ancient Balinese philosophy of harmony between time, place, and circumstance, facilitating rituals that are bound by the rhythms of nature. The gong will ring with the coming of rain, drawing the community together to signal the beginning of a new cycle of growth, a new season of change.
