Messing around with crowds the last week or so.

Lent a hand with a flashmob waterfight over the weekend in the centre of Brum.  Lots of kids appeared from nowhere and got fucking saturated for 15 minutes.  It was fun.

Straight after that, we got more hi-tech.  We rigged up a 5ft LED display to an SMS gateway to allow students to semi-automatically text in uncensored naughtiness at a festival.  Lots of students got pissed and made twats of themselves.  Our funky blue parasol went walkies.

Already having a pretty good idea what what possible with technology, it’s worth learning how crowds work.  In particular, how different crowds can be.  A proper blog post is in gestation.

Here are a few photos leading up to the above.
