Hei , am vazut mailul acela despre problema cu autorizatiile pt mars, stiu ca 
tu doar ai raspuns, dar ma gandeam ca poate cunosti mai bine organizatorii... 
oricum... e o idee, noi am incercat asta cu mai multe chestii si chiar au 
aparut in ziare, la noi.... in bucuresti.. so might work daca sunt putin 
creativi.... de ex .... sa se adune... sa creeze o forma oarecare din oameni.. 
din hartii... sau sa faca o harta din oameni... a centrului vechi.... orice... 
sa faca poze ... sa invite si jurnalistii... pt a arata cum poate arata chestia 
aia acolo.... adica in plus( ma refer la noile constructii si asa mai dep.... ) 
sau toata lumea ridica o hartie... ceva de pe jos.... in 5 secunde o zona 
curata.... o poza before and after.... ceva.. orice.... 

Sper sa fie un succes orice solutie s-ar gasi :)

Flash mob

(Redirected from Flash mobs)

In modern usage, flash mob describes a group of people who assemble suddenly in 
a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then 
quickly disperse. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or 
other communications networks.
The term has also been applied to distributed mobs, who use similar means to 
coordinate sudden large scale simultaneous actions in multiple locations. An 
example of such an action is the widespread use of mobile phones in the 2005 
civil unrest in France to coordinate widespread social disruption[citation 
needed].
In 1800s Tasmania, the term "flash mob" was used to describe a subculture 
consisting of female prisoners, based on the term “flash language” for the 
jargon that these women used. The 1800s Australian term “flash mob” referred to 
a segment of society, not an event, and showed no other similarities to the 
modern term “flash mob” or the events it describes.


Origins
The first flash mob was organized in Manhattan in May 2003, by Bill Wasik, 
senior editor of Harper's Magazine. The origins of the flash mobs were unknown 
until Wasik published an article about his creation in the March 2006 edition 
of Harper's. The first attempt was unsuccessful after the targeted retail store 
was tipped off about the plan for people to gather[1]. The first successful 
flash mob assembled in June 3, 2003 at Macy's department store. Wasik avoided 
such problems during the second flash mob by sending participants to 
preliminary staging areas—in four prearranged Manhattan bars—where they 
received further instructions about the ultimate event and location just before 
the event began.[2]
More than one hundred people converged upon the ninth floor rug department of 
Macy's department store, gathering around one particular very expensive rug. 
Anyone approached by a sales assistant was advised to say that the gatherers 
lived together in a warehouse on the outskirts of New York, that they were 
shopping for a Love Rug, and that they made all their purchase decisions as a 
group. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lobby and 
mezzanine of the Hyatt hotel in synchronized applause for about fifteen 
seconds, and next a shoe boutique in SoHo was invaded by participants 
pretending to be tourists on a bus trip.
In the article Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment 
designed to poke fun at hipsters, and highlight the cultural atmosphere of 
conformity and of wanting to be an insider or part of "the next big thing."
In 1973, the story Flash Crowd by Larry Niven described a concept vaguely 
similar to flash mobs. It described how, with the invention of popular 
teleportation, an argument at a shopping mall, which happened to be covered by 
a news crew, swells into a riot. The broadcast coverage attracted the attention 
of other people, who use the widely available technology of the teleportation 
booth to swarm first that event — thus intensifying the riot — and then other 
events as they happened. In actuality, flash crowds are used to start up and 
heighten riots. When a riot begins and is televised, others join in, resulting 
in the participation of millions of people. Commenting on the social impact of 
such mobs, one character in Niven's story, articulating the police view, says, 
"We call them flash crowds, and we watch for them." The first recorded use of 
the now more familiar term "flash mob", was in 2003, and featured in a blog 
entry posted in the aftermath of Wasik's event[3][4].
The 1998 novel Distraction by Bruce Sterling also features a riot by a flash 
mob in its opening pages, although the term is not used, and the flash mob riot 
is only a very peripheral element of the plot.
[edit] Usage and effects
Flash mobs started as pointless stunts, but the concept has already developed 
for the benefit of political and social agendas. Flash mobbing utilises the 
efficiency of communicating information on websites and by email, and 
protesters can similarly use the "on and off" concept to swarm political events.
