Onde o deslumbramento germina

Uma amiga estava vendo um trechinho em vídeo vertical no Instagram desse flashmob lançado hoje. Fui catar no YouTube. São 19 minutos de lágrimas ou pelo menos de emoção: ver dezenas, centenas (3 centenas no caso) de pessoas se reunindo para criar arte, para fazer música brotar no meio da cidade é uma das coisas mais especiais que a humanidade é capaz de fazer! Nenhuma tecnologia se compara e, infelizmente, andamos meio sem foco para o humano no meio de tanto esforço comercial para nos vender coisas.

Antes que digam qq coisa, sim, esse flashmob também é comercial, é diferente dos primeiros há mais de 20 anos, é um flashmob produzido por artistas que constroem carreias em mídias sociais, mas ainda é lindo e chorei!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhbbPxCtyxc

Na descrição tem os artistas que participam. Achei até que as crianças que cantam Believer eram as do One Voice Childresn Choir:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUQheX3PSnY

… Que também são arrepiantes!

Mas, então, comecei a lembrar dos primeiros flashmobs, quem inventou isso, que gênio! E digo quem: o coletivo de pessoas em redes sociais (não mídias como são hoje Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. redes sociais de verdade! Como IRC, BBS, NewsGroups, Orkut).

O primeiro que lembro era de guarda-chuvas. Não achei, mas era simplesmente “Galera, todo mundo no lugar tal, hora tal, a gente abre os guarda-chuvas por 5 minutos e depois debanda!”. Teve um na Cinelândia no Rio de Janeiro, se não me engano. Também teve de guerra de travesseiros no Largo do Machado.

Algumas vezes o flashmob exigia uma grande dose de desiniibção e confiança que os colegas iam se engajar também, como no No Pants Day de 2013 em NY:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAGeYkpSszE

Qual era a graça? A graça tinha a ver com liberdade, com diversidade, mas o meu site sobre cibercultura e análise de comportamento é o Meme de Carbono. Aqui é um espaço de memórias e sentimentos.

Mas eu queria resgatar flashmobs musicais antigos, então fui catar!

Achei uns que eu não vi na época, como esse há 15 anos, lindo, lindo! Com estudantes, adolescentes, dançando a Waka para angariar fundos para uma escola no Kenia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtzqqgE3kA

Flashmob raiz era assim: o pessoal se reunia de repente, fazia a ação e dispersava como se nada tivesse acontecido! Para mim isso tinha um significado forte, como se a coletividade pudesse aflorar a qualquer momento, se unir para fazer arte ou se divertir e dispersar de novo.

Era comum pessoas nada a ver com o flashmob se misturarem! Bem divertido!

Claro que tudo se mercantiliza e há 14 anos já existiam flashmobs-propaganda, mas ainda com uma alma meio coletiva, como esse de cartão de crédito:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROPesXv2z1U

Voltando um pouco para o presente e para flashmobs produzidos, tenho que comentar o Master of the Tides! Lançado há 12 anos!

Além de gostar muito da música e do clipe, serve para fazer justiça à tecnologia: ela não tem alma, mas pode ser usada para ecoar a alma! Esse é um dos primeiros clipes independentes que eu conheço em que caixas de som portáteis foram usadas para espalhar o som pela rua mantendo a sincronia. Tecnologia bem usada nos permite fazer coisas lindas!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrutzRWXkKs

O Flashmob musical mais antigo que achei no YouTube foi um tributo ao Michael Jackson há 17 anos!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVJVRywgmYM

Se você procurar por flashmob e o nome de uma música famosa, banda, tema, certamente achará muita coisa emocionante! Quanto mais antigo, mais espontâneo, não que produções como a primeira desse post não sejam maravilhosas, mas muitas vezes o mais simples é o que mais nos emociona, como “mob” envolvendo música e dança que vi, há 10 anos, e comentei somente dois anos depois no post Além do momento de beleza e poesia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSLR6uKTZX4

Finalmente… Flashmob também pode ser político e, talvez, na essência de todos eles esteja a semente da mobilização política!

Restoring tropical reefs of the Great Barrier Reef and Small Island Nations and avoiding ecological imperialism and ongoing colonialism

"Between1820 and 1930, over 50 million Europeans colonised a relatively small number of countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South American countries such as Argentina and Uruguay."

The" traditional owners of the land saw this process as an invasion whereby the invaders not only occupied their land and sea country but set out to actively re-model their traditional ecosystems...Colonisers justified the persistent push to import the familiar plants and animals from the homeland given the unfamiliarity of newly colonised landscapes and climates, as well as their lack of knowledge of how to harness the local flora and fauna for food, fibre, clothes and transportation."

"Colonisers proactively sought to make their new home like their old home based on their Western concept of what a ‘natural’ landscape should look like. Cattle and sheep were widely introduced and distributed across the new nation...Acclimatisation Society commenced in 1862 and was operating up until 1956 to introduce new crops to the colonies...This rural industry development caused the significant flow-on effect of biodiversity loss. In Australia alone, twenty species of mammals have been declared extinct, and nearly half of marsupial and monotreme species are now on the extinct, endangered or vulnerable list ..."

"scientists observed 160 species on the Salas y Gómez Ridge that had not yet been known in the region and suspect that at least 50 of them are new to science. These are #squid, #fish, #corals, #mollusks, #SeaStars, glass #sponges, #SeaUrchins, crabs, and squat #lobsters, amongst others. They set a record for sighting the deepest-known #photosynthesis-dependent animal in the world: #Leptoseris, a wrinkle #coral."
