Conflux festival


The Conflux Festival is the annual New York festival for contemporary psychogeography. It is a three-day event that promotes the intellectual and artistic investigation of everyday urban life though emerging artistic, technological and social practices. Over the past five years, the festival has grown into an international art event with a global reach and a reputation for presenting cutting-edge artistic work within the realm of public-space arts.

For a few days each September, Conflux transforms the city into a temporary laboratory for creative experimentation and action. Past Conflux works and events have included mapping projects, high-tech mobile public space interventions, artist-facilitated walking tours, public installations, interactive performances, bike and subway expeditions, workshops, lectures, film programs and live music performances.

Conflux is attended by people with a common desire to understand, explore, celebrate, and improve the urban environment. Conflux visitors are introduced to strategies for utilizing performance, visual art, and music to address the environment, sustainable development, the increased presence of technology in cities, emerging trends in social/local networking, and ways to encourage community dialogue and humanize the urban experience.
