Glowlab presents:
Glowlab announces the third annual Conflux festival for contemporary
psychogeography, the investigation of everyday urban life through
emerging artistic, technological and social practice.
Brooklyn-based arts lab Glowlab announces Conflux 2006, the NYC
festival where international artists, technologists, urban
adventurers and the public put investigations of everyday urban life
into practice on the streets. At Conflux, the city becomes a
playground, a nomadic laboratory and a space for the development of
creative communities. Events over the course of four days include
experimental walking, biking and public-transport tours; street games
and tech workshops; a film/video series; and mobile broadcasts,
performances, situations and installations.
Conflux is a hub for contemporary psychogeography, the exploration of
the physical and psychological landscape of cities. The Village Voice
has described Conflux as a unorthodox urban investigators…making fresh, if underground, contributions to pedestrian life in New York City, and upping the
ante on today's fight for the soul of high-density metropolises."[1]
Conflux 2006 will feature a full program of events from Thursday
through Sunday, with projects from over 80 artists from across the US
and countries including Canada, UK, Spain, Germany, Finland, Sweden
and Australia.
