Gotta Share! The Musical

Improv Everywhere is a New York City-based prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Their fourth Spontaneous Musical Project is about a speaker at the GEL Conference in New York, talking about a so-called brand-new social media platform “Twirlr” and is suddenly interrupted by a man who refuses to turn off his cell phone.
It is the fourth in our series of Spontaneous Musical projects.

  • The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge

    Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns. As an artist chooses colours or light to make her pictures, a master of shih chooses textures of knowledge – various ideas, myths, abstractions, and theories – to create a way of seeing the world. The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.

    – David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993

  • Geek Attitude

    The attitude thing is about flexibility, portability, creativity, sociability and jamming (ran out of suitable “ity” words!). It’s about improvising – in the practical and musical senses of the word; not getting tangled in boundaries and the “right” way to do things.
    Definitely the only way to travel.
    – Martin Delaney – “Laptop Music”.
