Dance in Urban Spaces: Revisiting T-Mobile's Life's For Sharing Campaign and Other Flashmob "Happenings".
I decided to take another look at a few videos of some of the ad campaigns and other smart mob-like "happenings" from the perspective of world-as-interface. In all of the videos, you can see the excitement on the faces of the on-lookers as whip out their various mobile devices, take pictures or videos, call their friends, or simply join in the fun. In just a short period of time, the digital content generated from the real-space experience is transferred cyber-space, where it continues to live on and enjoyed by others in ways the original participants had not imagined.
