If You’re Going to Hold Up Your Mobile Phone at a Concert…
…you might as well have something to show off.
Back in the day, everyone held their lighters aloft. Now it’s the glow of mobile phones. Dan Deacon, the freaky folk experimenter, has come up with an app that makes things just a little more interesting. By using this app (available for both iOS and Android), the audience turns into a sea of pixels. (Via The Creators Project)
This is pretty cool for a dance / rave. The crowd usually becomes a cool part of the show and this app would just take things to another level.
However when I see thousands of people at concerts and they're holding up their damn phones just to shoot some shitty video, only to litter youtube and twitter with bad vids & pics it really irks me.
Why don't they put they're phones or cameras down and enjouy the show. Let the professional camera people do their jobs. You can always go out and buy the DVD later if you think you missed a cool moment or two. Think of the poor people behind you trying to get a better view of the stage.
