<div><b>Improv Everywhere</b> is a New York City-based comedy
collective that stages unexpected performances in public places.
Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere aims to
surprise and delight random strangers through positive pranks, or
"missions."</div>
<div>For our latest mission 23 actors and 2 dogs infiltrated a public
space and went on "mute" at coordinated intervals. The
mission took place near the northern entrance to Prospect Park in Park
Slope, Brooklyn. The Mute Button was produced by Improv Everywhere as
part of the Guggenheim Museum exhibition stillspotting nyc.</div>
