The Mp3 Experiment Seventeen

UPDATE

The full details are posted here: Mp3 Experiment Seventeen Full Details

The Mp3 Experiment is a participatory audio adventure where attendees use our smartphone app to listen to synchronized secret instructions in a public space via headphones.

The Mp3 Experiment Seventeen will take place on Saturday, June 18 at 8:30 PM in the Meatpacking District in Manhattan. This event, as always, is free and open to all. Spread the word!

Presented in partnership with Make Music New York and as part of Festival of New York.

Participants will download an original audio file using Improv Everywhere’s smartphone app, convene at a yet to be revealed location in the Meatpacking District’s open streets, and blend in. Hilarity ensues as participants carry out coordinated instructions delivered to their headphones, and everyone else tries to figure out what is going on.

We will release the complete details including exact starting location and download information a couple of days before the event. Join our email list to be the first to know. Here’s an early heads up on what you’ll need to bring:

What to Wear and Bring:

Wear: “Dress to impress.” Dress as if you were going out “clubbing.” Bright colors are a big plus. Do not buy anything new. High heels are not recommended due to this being an active event on uneven surfaces.
Bring: A bag (purse, backpack, messenger bag, shopping bag, etc.) that has the following items inside:
– A soft ball you don’t mind losing (inflatable, foam, plush, etc. Nothing that would hurt someone if thrown.)
– A piece of sidewalk chalk
– Something that lights up bright (A colorful LED item for example. No laser pointers.)

You can RSVP (optionally) on our Facebook Event (invite friends!) And join The Mp3 Experiment NYC Facebook Group to stay in touch about future events.
