This week, more than 100 international + local artist will transform New York City into a laboratory for exploring the urban environment.
In other words, it's time for the annual Conflux Festival, a four day event devoted to contemporary psychogeography (the investigation of everyday urban life through emerging artistic, technological and social practice).
The theme will be investigated through an impressive array of lectures, guided tours, performances and projects. Following this post is a shortcut to some of the great-looking projects listed on the Conflux website.

I had didn't know this festival existed - to bad - it would have been a great excuse to visit NY. Some of the projects seem very interesting, I would have loved to see the subway swing in action...
