Nope, sorry. I've no idea what they imagined the point of the execise was - was it supposed to be 'art'? Absolute seagull poop I'm afraid.[disgust]

OMG [lol] people are so funny! I'd feel too vulnerable to be doing that, especially in New York City, but more power to those who participated. The world needs more levity like is shown in these clips.

Well, the artist is supposed to make you think. I could fair smell the neurons burning. And isn't there a message when in a place where everyone is rushing around, that everything just stops>?

It gets done almost daily when Dounreay workers are walking a little bit early towards the canteen.

No. Maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy. I like to encourage people to think a bit, and challenge what is accepted as everyday things. But, after watching that video, and thinking about it, I could only deciede that I had wasted several minutes of my life.[disgust] Obviously from all the threads, I am the only one who did not think this worth everybodies time and effort. You have to try new things otherwise we would stagnate - but this should have stopped at the 'Hey, you hoopy frood, I've got this great idea, lets get a whole load of people to suddenly stand still........'.

I don't think this is worthy of the title 'Art', but many people do so maybe I'm missing something.

Sorry, it's just not my idea of challenging art, but it may encourage people to think of something better. :cool:

As the station is so quiet you could be waiting frozen for a long time LOL

I thought the video was great, it is so hard to stand perfectly still for five minutes, I couldn't do it
