Research


Flashmob – A flashmob is when a number of peope (usually a large number) gather in one place and simultaneously act or do something out of the ordinary, for example all freeze at once or dance in a train station or supermarket.

This idea is so interesting because I don’t really like the fact that human beings seem to be programmed into this capitalist society, and behave like robots or slaves doing the same thing day in day out. I think life could be so much more fun and different. Flashmobs can put a twist on our mundane reality of the working life, such as the grumpy flat faces in train stations were interrupted by this dancing T-Mobile advertisement or many people freezing.

Apero geant – another word for flashmob.

Pop-up restaurant – Pop up restaurants are simply people advertising in the paper or on social networking sites on the internet that they are cooking at their house, you are invited to come. The advertisers will buy the food, cook it and serve it on tables perhaps set up in their living room, and you have to pay for the service. Usually, the people invited will know the people doing the restaurant service at their home.

Secret gigs – Secret gigs are basically secret gigs, where the rave or party or gig is set up in a location that’s perhaps not usually used for this purpose.

Art auction - This is where valuable works of art are sold at an auction, where bidders put in increasing bids and the highest bidder wins. These events are also known as Christies.
