Eksperiment na ulici


Definition from own experience or research:
Načrtno izbrana skupina ljudi oz. prostovoljcev, ki sodelujejo v javnem eksperimentu. Gre za izvedbo na ulici, kjer ta množica ljudi nenadoma obstane. Stojijo popolnoma na miru za določen čas (odvisno od njihovega dogovora med seboj), gre za ''zamrznitev časa''. Namen tega je zbuditi pozornost mimoidočih, ne vpletenih sprehajalcev. Saj se nenadoma premikajo med maso obstoječih, ''zamrznjenih'' ljudi. Ti se po določenem ,dogovorjenem času ''odmrznejo'' in nadaljujejo po svojih opravkih kot, da se ni nič zgodilo.

Example sentence(s):
  • Enega izmed največjih javnih eksperimentov v Veliki Britaniji je masa ljudi izvedla na Victoria station in to v času največjega prometa ljudi. - No source. Own translation.
