Conflux is the annual NYC festival for contemporary psychogeography where international artists, technologists, urban adventurers and the public put investigations of everyday city life into practice on the streets. At Conflux, the city becomes a playground, a nomadic laboratory and a space for the development of creative communities.



Currently in its third year, Conflux will take place September 14 - 17th in Brooklyn. Over 80 artists from across the US and countries including Canada, UK, Spain, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Australia will come to Williamsburg to present projects including experimental walking, biking, boat and public-transport tours; street games and tech workshops; mobile broadcasts, performances and temporary installations.



Highlights include:



- Street art tour by Streetsy and the Graffiti Research Lab
- Human-scale Othello game on the streets of Williamsburg
- Museum tours by the City Reliquary
- Mobile art installation in a truck by the Rider Project
- Urban tourism mash-up of New York and Baghdad
- Audio bus tour by The New York Society for Acoustic Ecology [NYSAE] with members of free103.9
