Who decides what a happening really means ? In a convergence of art, science, education, and community outreach, on Sunday April 27, 2008, the NASA-funded ArctiQuest Research Project hosted over 1000 community participants who gathered for an ice rendezvous at MacArthur Park in Downtown Los Angeles for the reinvention of an art Happening called FLUIDS, originally conceived by Allan Kaprow. At 9 am, over 25 volunteers assembled to construct a wall of ice as a collaborative work of art, requiring over 700 fifty-pound blocks, to construct a wall about 30 feet long, ten feet wide, and nearly eight feet tall.

The idea is that low-level offenses like vandalism and panhandling create an environment that breeds bigger crimes. According to the theory, authorities can help head off serious violence by keeping minor infractions in check.
