Anti Pleasure

Holy! Has anyone been on ImprovEverywhere.com? I almost can’t put it into words what they actually do. Here’s a video below:

If you didn’t watch it… there was over 200 people in Grand Central, NY to create this video where they all stop moving, all freeze at different places at the same time while people unknowing walk by and not know what the heck is going on! lol I just thought this was peculiar because anything different always interests me.

Someone created a Facebook group to do this in my city, Saint John. I’m sure they could do it but I can just imagine the hoopla it will cause in one of our small malls. Good idea though, people like to copy art ideas though… oh well, it gets people involved and gets others talking! I would like to see something like this done in one of our malls. I won’t participate mind you, but it would be damn hilarious and I’m sure it will piss off some Saint Johners. Hehe

Anyways, onto Improv Everywhere, check the website out! The skits they do are so hilarious. Just to name a few, they greeted a complete stranger at the airport with signs everywhere. They got hundreds of people to download the same Mp3 and blast it in a public place. Some other funny ones are Slo-mo at the home depot, human mirror and looping at Starbucks.

Just thought I’d share my laugh with you all today. I know I got a giggle out of it.

The freezing at the same time though has been done by 70 other teams, and probably the best one is the video on youtube with 3000 people freezing at the same time in France!

The things we do for art. The things we do to be creative. It’s nice to know there are some ideas out there beginning to surface, that have never even been thought of before.
