aside
ace...
i did a bunch of research into crowd flows/stochastics when i was trying to figure out why a piece i did that involved putting the audience into motion didn't work as planned. the research didn't add much to what i already more or less knew (it was fucking cold that night for one thing; for another we didn't make the distinction between our performance and that of the collective that opened for us clear enough) but i did find out about the breaking left tendency.
there's alot of information about this kind of thing around design of fire exits for buildings not surprisingly. the way people flock around them in an emergency is really quite strange & creates all kinds of problems for designing what you'd think would be quite simple (a door)...
i think i still have the material around somewhere. if you want i can bounce you citations.
