have you heard about improv everywhere? anyway, here's what i'm going to share.
i find this amazing. improve everywhere rounded up 207 people of various races and ages for an art performance at the grand central station. the "flash mob", mixed in with the other unsuspecting crowds stood frozen, all at the same time for five minutes. one woman stood frozen while eating a banana the other while eating a yogurt, a guy while drinking water, a man tying his shoe lace, another man froze kneeling to pick up the papers he dropped, a pair froze while holding hands and kissing. the positions were all real. the crowds were in awe as if they're in a twilight zone. they were either questioning their ownselves or others to what was happening and how long it has been happening. the driver of the maintenance truck started to feel frustrated and if i heard him right, he radioed for a back up. but the mission was only few seconds away to finish and the mob started to be animated again.
people who witnessed the performance (or prank?) have different things to say. as for me, i felt i was in another dimension. watch the vid below and see for yourself.
