50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

i have an idea…

  • blog

I have this idea to make something as a unique art project. It is either the craziest, dumbest, most impractical thing ever … or it’s a crazy, dumb, impractical thing that will be awesome.

I will need exactly one million people, from anywhere in the world, to make it happen. I wonder if that’s possible.

Feel free to speculate, if you’re into that sort of thing.

    Hmmm.. maybe a global version of the You’ve Got Mail elevator scene, where you get one million people to jump in the air at the same time and the earth thinks there’s less people so the ice caps stop melting?

    Or maybe we all play Santana’s “Smooth” (featuring Rob Thomas) on our music devices creating a one million-node global stereo that prompts the dolphins to break their oath of silence and tell us the secrets of cold fusion.

    Or maybe you just want a million people to create a simultaneous global flash mob of Sparks McGee cosplay.

    Whatever, I’m in.
