Triggering the Avalanche

One last post before going to sleep ;-)

I just stumbled on this interesting video. It shows a spontaneous and unsuspected avalanche effect in the crowd, to start dancing during a Sasquath Music Festival, earlier this year.

The video is increasingly getting attention among complex system researchers, which find similitude with other avalanche processes in nature, e.g. physical and biological systems.

Notice that Guy#3 is clearly responsible for triggering an avalanche of the crowd, presumably after a descending threshold of inhibition in the public that is produced by him dancing freely.

We no longer have Ali Rafiei in the team for this project, however, i wonder is there is a way to potentially produce a parallel effect toward contributions from all of us in this attempt.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic?
