Flash mob began as a form of performance art. Large group of people assemble suddenly in a public place. They then perform an unusual action for a brief time – screams, applause, jump – then immediately disperse, leaving the unsuspected daze wondering what just happened.
Flash mobs are usually organized virally through emails, social media and SMS. Nothing official and through word of mouth, a friend of a friend of a friend. Flash Mod are not political in nature.
During the recent Maxis iPhone roadshow at KLCC, a small flash mob was organize. It claim to be Kuala Lumpur’s first major dance flash mob. It starts out as a stage dance performance, then suddenly part of the crowd starts dancing in sync with the dancers. Look at the unsuspected faces wondering what was going on. Check out the embedded video.
Flash mod are usually done independently as a performance art, not sure if one organized by PR companies as a publicity stunts counted as a flash mod. Not sure if this particular were designed as a publicity stunts for Maxis or just a flash mod planed at the iPhone roadshow.
