Welcome back to the art of the MOOC, merging public art and experimental education. This is the part where you get to experiment with your own ideas and actual physical or virtual space. Remember that every week, you have two options: social method options or a worldwide flashmob option. One could leave you more into exploring your relationships with people in your immediate surroundings. But without having to worry about large numbers of people or a fast, catchy action. The flashmob option, on the other side, we'll allow those of you who care about using your social media and other structures. Two great works that are highly visible even if they're very fast. For this module Social Method Option, we are inviting you to plant garden, cook or eat something in a social, political or cultural way. Of course, this may sound very vague or like there's too many options. But the key things are here, the action, planting, cooking, eating. As well as those three terms, cultural, social, political. What does it mean for something to be social? Well, perhaps it's not just about eating together but creating the food together. Talking about the food together, right? Creating a social situation. In how many societies do we eat alone? For most of our meals. So remember, make it social, make it cultural, make it political. Many times, we do these everyday actions without realizing how deeply cultural they are. So, for this week you may engage with them. You may even before you think of your project. You may just become more conscious of what is cultural about that very act? That very act of planting, of cooking, or eating. [SOUND] How do we make food cultural? For once, it's important to not just do it as a habitual act. When I decide to eat a burger, it's a cultural thing. Hamburgers come from a particular place. They're made in particular ways. And there's from one type of hamburger to another. So, all of these things can be part of your project. It's not just what you eat, but where you decide to eat it, what culturally that place is associated with, and who you decide to eat it with. [SOUND] For this module's world wide flashmob assignment. We're asking you to identify a local art museum or a cultural institution and stage a flashmob either within it or right in front of it, if you don't think you can afford the entry fee. You can decide with all the people collaborating with you what the meaning of this flashmob is. What you're trying to do with it, if there even is a very specific goal or purpose. What matters is that you get other people on board not just in making the event happen but even choosing the very cultural institution. Many towns and cities have several institutions to choose from. You may also have to travel some for this assignment, if you live in a smaller place that doesn't have a cultural institution. Or you may decide to treat an institution that doesn't see itself as a cultural, as a cultural institution. So for example, to some people a natural history museum could be a cultural institution, or a history museum. So how you define a cultural institution is, or can be part of this flashmob assignment. Remember to always work with others, think how you can get them involved. It's important to first reach a common ground with those around you, as you stage one of these flashmobs. Now, also remember that flashmobs can be incredibly fast. They don't have to have a hundred people or a thousand people. It could be you and ten of your friends, who get together and do something fast. And often, the most simple interventions are the most powerful ones.
