Artist Project 2

Improv Everywhere
     Improv Everywhere is a comedic performance art group based in New York City, formed in 2001 by Charlie Todd. Its slogan is "We Cause Scenes." The group carries out pranks, which they call "missions", in public places. The stated goal of these missions is to cause scenes of "chaos and joy." Some of the group's missions use hundreds of performers and are similar to flash mobs, while other missions utilize only a handful of performers. 
     This is kindda odd and not like art. They create many different mission which I found really weird. Their missions are such as No Underwear Subway Ride on April's Fool Day, and the "Best Funeral Ever" prank. IE claims the missions are benevolent, aiming to give the observers a laugh and an experience.
