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!

"Corals Spin Tiny Vortices to Get Oxygen, but Not if It’s Too Hot

At first glance, corals present as little more than colorful rocks — piles of lobes, stalagmites, and branches poking out from the seafloor.

They are anything but. Corals are complex creatures that form enduring colonies, and just like other animals they need oxygen to live. Across the living surface of coral, a frantic dance of survival takes place, invisible to our eyes and unknown to science before 2014. The tiny dancers are hairlike cilia, and new research into these microscopic structures is revealing just how active corals are in determining their own fate.

Corals aren’t fortunate enough to have a consistent supply of oxygen, and they can’t change location to seek it out. During the day, the tiny polyps that make up a coral colony get plenty of oxygen from the symbiotic algae that photosynthesize within their tissues. But at night that process stops, and a coral polyp’s only source of oxygen is the water around it. Then it’s do or die for the cilia. Using mechanisms scientists are still trying to understand, the cilia wave around to generate fast-moving vortices of water that circulate oxygen to the coral’s outer tissues, in addition to helping keep the colonies free of sediment.

A study published in Science (opens a new tab) in May 2026 provides new insight into how organisms with no brain or musculoskeletal system can generate and regulate this process — and what happens when the water around them warms up. Warmer water naturally carries less oxygen, which prompts corals to move their cilia faster and faster, as if gasping for breath. Above a certain temperature, the system starts to work against itself; the furious beating of cilia uses up any oxygen the coral’s tissues can absorb, and then the polyps can suffocate in the less oxygenated water. Biophysicists, marine biologists, mathematicians, and modelers are now collaborating to better understand the physiological and hydrodynamic forces at work, and how they correlate with bleaching patterns, coral disease, and mass die-offs."

Meet ‘Snuffleupagus,’ a newfound #fish sporting shaggy #camouflage
Species has a thick coat that mimics colorful #coral
The woolly, reddish fish is a variety of ghost #pipefish, camouflaged fishes related to #seahorses. Species has a striking resemblance to Mr. Snuffleupagus, Big Bird’s shaggy, mammothlike friend on Sesame Street. The fish — no longer than a matchstick — evolved to move like floating algal, drifting passively back and forth

Always wanted to draw an Illithid. Not a D&D guy but I like the design. Turns out they have renegade Illithids who practice magic. Perfect match for this list. = )
