Secret Headphone Instructions in Public: The Mp3 Experiment 17 Improv Everywhere 2022-09-14 | A huge mob of people listening to synchronized instructions on the streets of Manhattan in our annual audio adventure.Full Story: improveverywhere.com/2022/09/14/the-mp3-experiment-seventeen For our latest mission, thousands of people followed secret, synchronized instructions delivered via headphones in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. The crowd of around 2,000 people blended in on the sidewalks surrounding West 13th and Gansevoort Streets. The app-powered audio started playing at exactly 8:30 PM, just as the sun was setting.After surprising random strangers in the area with their synchronized movements, participants took over the car-free Open Streets for games like freeze tag and Human Frogger. The two groups eventually converged on the Little West 12th Open Street for a massive game of dodgeball and an epic dance party finale.This was all part of our seventeenth annual Mp3 Experiment event, returning for the first time since 2019.The Mp3 Experiment is created each year by Charlie Todd and Tyler Walker. All music is by Tyler Walker. (tylerwalkermusic.com)A huge thanks to the amazing community of people that come out to be a part of this event every year. We’re so proud of what a diverse, joyful celebration the Mp3 Experiment has become. As silly as the project is, it’s life-affirming to be in a crowd of strangers, all smiling, laughing, and supporting each other, especially after the past couple of years.
