Are you a smelly, attention-starved hipster itching to challenge the inevitable march of mankind's technological isolation? A shower might help, but, failing that, you could always grab your iPad and join this modern day take on the 70s drum circle:

See, while this gimmicky Jumboltron "movement" might seem unique, it's not. Far from it. In fact, as a social attraction and event anchor point, the distributed iPad "video wall" has been around almost as long as the iPad itself. There's even an app for that! Sheesh.
