FLASH MOBS

Flash mobs is when a group of people assemble suddenly in a public space and perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment or satire. They can be organized through telecommunication, social media, or viral emails. The first flash mob was in May 2003 in New York by Bill Wasik but it was unsuccessful because the retail store was tipped off it was going to happen. I have never seen one in person but I have watched videos of it and I think if it pulled off nicely and in sync with everyone it looks really cool. I would be down to create a flash mob with my art class at school. I feel like the usual ones I have heard of incorporate dance. So that could definitely be an option, but I think it might be interesting if we did something different that dancing like if we were to freeze in the middle of campus, I saw a video of a flash mob doing that in a train station and it turned out really good.
