Conflux Festival, October 2009 / November 2010
Psy-Geo-Conflux (better known as Conflux) is the annual New York City festival dedicated to psychogeography, where visual, performance and sound artists, writers, urban adventurers, researchers and the public gather for four days to explore the physical and psychological landscape of the city. Conflux was co-founded by David Mandl of the Brooklyn Psychogeographical Association and Glowlab’s Christina Ray. The Department of Art and Art Professions hosted the 2009 and 2010 festivals when Art Education faculty member and Department chair David Darts served as the curator. Graduate students from Art Education and other Steinhardt programs have the opportunity to participate in this annual event.
