Conflux Festival: Playing in the Streets

Face it, you’ve grown comfortable pacing a line between your apartment, work, and the liquor store. This weekend, break with your routine, turn the streets into a playground, and explore the city with Conflux, the New York City festival of modern psychogeography. “Conflux is the annual New York festival for contemporary psychogeography, the investigation of everyday urban life through emerging artistic, technological and social practice.” Guy Debord, the situationist who coined psychogeography, admits it has a “rather pleasing vagueness,” so don’t feel bad if you’re confused. Just check out the extensive schedule, and find something to do. The liquor store will be there when you get back.
