It is, or is supposed to be. That is the all point.

Someone posts a video on a website, with information to descend en masse, at so and so place, on such a day. They are informed that at exactly whatever time, they all do the pre-arranged act, then vanish again, back into the nowhere land.

It was supposedly an act of people power, and as such could be described as a happening, and concievably art.

That's when it was new, and modern, and cost nothing. Ten years ago.

Before it became a bit passe, and used to flog phones, and now that you have to spend a grand, to get someone in, to make it happen.

'much technique is involved in becoming a modern dancer ... even a good Flash Mob dancer.'

Even those at the scene, who were unaware what was happening, joined in, and did as others around them did.
