PSY-GEO-CONFLUX May 8-11

New York City

PSY-GEO-CONFLUX 2003 marks the inauguration of an annual event dedicated to current artistic and social investigations in PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY ("the study of the effects of the geographic environment on the emotions and behavior of individuals"). Part festival and part conference, it brings together visual and sound artists, writers, and urban adventurers to explore the physical and psychological landscape of the city.PSY-GEO-CONFLUX will feature no fewer than eight experimental walks and a mobile-phone-guided drift through the streets of New York; a life-sized chess game using humans as pieces; several talks and presentations; a noise parade; an art exhibition; and a night of psychogeography-inspired live music, DJs, and video. All events are FREE and open to the public.

The exhibition, talks, and presentations will take place at ABC No Rio. The closing party / evening of music and video will be held at the SUBTONIC LOUNGE. Walks and other outdoor activities will start at various places around the city.

A complete schedule, event details (including location information for walks), links to participants, contact information, and much more can be found at http://glowlab.com/pgc.
