The Flash Mob

I’m fascinated by the Flash Mob , where huge gatherings of people arrive on mass at a location just for a laugh. It’s akin to a protest, except they are not protesting, they’re just havin’ fun!

The first example here is from a Japanese TV show and is quite similar to a Dom Jolly sketch.

In London a huge gathering had a bop while listening to there own music on there portable music devices. Mobile Clubbing are the organisers of this one as far as I can tell. I’d reckon this is influenced by Silent Disco

Re-Inventing ©ulture

Well, here it is. Re-Inventing ©ulture is an audiovisual mashup which I put together on top of a 25 minute soundtrack mixed by ThinkToy. They say a picture tells a thousand stories, so I’ll let the piece speak for itself. Roll it there….

There is a much higher quality version on my pages on Stage6. I decided not to embed it here as it requires you to get DivX on your machine. This way it wont appear as a broken link if you don’t have DivX. I hope to remedy this soon though with a script that will present it first in DivX if you have it, if not it will be FLV. So for now here is a direct link to the high quality version.
