The Blogfest!

Tonight, June 24 at 7pm on the New Haven Green

Group Intelligence is part art, part science experiment: a flash mob-inspired interactive experience in which the crowd joins together to simulate the beginnings of life. The audience takes part in Group Intelligence by following instructions delivered through MP3 players. Along the way, each audience member is instructed to perform specific actions: the audience in effect both creates and experiences images of the creation of the world and the emergence of life.
