            In Toronto the Globe and Mail reported that the “mob”
followed the instructions of a visible organizer.

Flash mobs – open space
 
I wonder - my understanding is that flash mobs gather at a single point
and follow the behavioural instructions of the invisible organizer.
 
Invisible facilitation a
invitation a
law of two feet a
following own passion a
taking responsibility a
creativity, innovation a?
Total control - the theme a ?

And yet I’m not sure.

sounds like the western world is practicing for the coming wave of
OpenSpace.   Flash Mob sounds like an OST workout in which participants
invite, convene, and let go without the messy business of conversation.
you know how all that conversation always makes real live OpenSpace
events so long and sometimes necessitates notes and typing... <grin>

Flash mobs: a new social phenomenon?

Is it performance art or the ultimate surprise party? A social
phenomenon known as the 'flash mob', which began in New York and relies
on e-mail, appears to be spreading worldwide.

Using mass e-mailing, the organisers bring together what their
invitations describe as 'inexplicable mobs' - large crowds that
materialise in public places and suddenly dissipate 10 minutes later.

Since the first flash mob was organised in Manhattan in May, by a
mischievous underground group called the Mob Project, the practise has
already spread to other U.S. cities, while plans are being drawn up for
events in London, Rome and Vienna.
