Students at UNC Chapel Hill organized a Flash Rave in the Undergraduate Library to blow off steam during exam week. UNC is my alma mater, so I’m proud to see stuff like this going on down there.
Here’s another video, this one without music:

DC Defenestrators, the Washington DC group from the Urban Prankster Network, just posted a video of a mission from last summer. In it they play an oversized game of Risk on the Navy Memorial world map in DC.
This project definitely needs your help if it’s going to successfully label the entire world. So if you’ve grab some sticky notes and a pen, and get to it!
The creator explains:
I’ve been working on a simple project where I label things with sticky notes. I wanted something that anyone could participate in (as long as they have sticky notes and a pen), and would get people out there doing something without feeling they to make elaborate plans first. Just a small way to make the world slightly more surreal and get people to look a little more closely at their surroundings.
The Pop_Down Project offers an alternative to the “pop up” advertising we encounter on the streets. They write:
On the Internet, getting rid of unsolicited pop-ups is pretty easy. In real life, things are a tad more complicated. The Pop_Down Project aims at symbolically restoring everyone’s right to non-exposure: Just stick a “Close window” button on any public space pollution.

Two holiday institutions are happening in cities all over the world this weekend and throughout December. First there’s Santacon, the annual mob of hundreds of Santa suit wearing participants. Anyone with a Santa suit can participate! Then there’s Unsilent Night, Phil Kline’s parade of roving boomboxes, another everyone’s-welcome participatory event. Both events are happening this Saturday in New York City. Check the websites for details and for information on other cities. You can even organize your own if your city isn’t on the list.
Also, there are two Improv Everywhere-inspired events happening on Saturday that are being organized by local groups on the Urban Prankster Network. Seattle is having an Mp3 Experiment and Portland, Oregon is having a freeze.
Busy weekend!

Jericho Comedy, UC Berkeley’s improv prank squad, asked the timeless question, “How did they dance?” in classrooms across their campus.
For NL Architects’ latest project they created a “moving forest” in Amsterdam:
The Moving Forest are 100 trees strapped into 100 shopping-carts lurking around in an urban environment blocking peoples way and forcing passers to act on them. According to NL’s Gen Yamamoto the idea comes from a story he heard as a child about a forest where the trees move at night so that people would loose there way and could never get out.
After the period of 6 weeks when the festival is over, the trees will be sold on to citizens and find a new home.
