Brooklyn, NY - Glowlab is pleased to announce Psy.Geo.Conflux 2004, the
second in an annual series 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, urban adventurers and the public to explore the physical and
psychological landscape of the city. Events will take place throughout the
city, with a headquarters located at Participant Inc., 95 Rivington St.
between Orchard and Ludlow. The Conflux headquarters will serve as a place
for participants and visitors to meet, pick up maps and schedules, and
attend lectures. All events will be free and open to the public.

Psy.Geo.Conflux 2004 will feature a full program of events from Thursday
through Sunday, including experimental walks using altered maps and
navigational aids; "techno-drifts" through the city using wearable
computing devices; a human-scale chess game to take place in Times Square;
a walking presentation of an urban documentary project commissioned by the
New Museum of Contemporary Art; a series of temporary installations,
lectures, audio and video works and more.

A complete schedule, event details, links to participants, and contact
information will be available in mid-March at http://www.psygeocon.org. To

Psy.Geo.Conflux 2004 is produced by Brooklyn-based arts lab Glowlab, in
collaboration with Participant Inc. Sponsored in part by Artists Space
Independent Project Grant.

Partial list of events:

The Dreamlife of Buildings :: Kate Armstrong: A psychogeographical
performance project in which the artist moves through the city wearing a
custom-built apparatus that picks up transmissions from wireless public
and private surveillance cameras and records them into a string of images.

WiFi Haiku :: Julian Bleecker: A drift through New York City neighborhoods
to discover the names people give to their WiFi nodes and to construct
haiku using these found SSID names.

Footprint Mapping :: Noriyuki Fujimura: An attempt to create a digital map
of streets and public spaces by gathering "footprints" of participants in
the project; a DIY-style digital mapping system consisting of a cheap
pedometer, digital compass, microprocessor, webcam and laptop computer,
set on a custom-made backpack for participants to wear.

Funerals for a Moment :: Kanarinka: Brings together collaborators across
space and time to commemorate the passing of inconsequential moments at
particular locations in New York City. The event will culminate in a
collaborative performance of simultaneous funerals across New York City.

Nomadic Talk Show :: J. Gabriel Lloyd and Jason Kambitsis: Crushed velvet,
scotch in one hand, blue and black tuxedos, big ties, and good
times...like a 1970s Dean Martin Roast on the city streets. The guests of
the show are people who live or work in the neighborhood.

The New York Snap Exchange :: Andrea Moed: A round-robin, massively
multiplayer street photography derby; a game in which everyone commissions
art, everyone's an artist, and together we create an emergent visual index
of the city.

Human Scale Chess Game :: Sharilyn Neidhardt: A cell phone
