> CONFLUX SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
> Participants in Conflux share an interest in psychogeography [
> Wikipedia ]. Projects presented range from interpretations of the
> classical approach developed by the Situationists to emerging
> artistic, conceptual and technology-based practices.
>
> At Conflux, participants, along with attendees and the public, put
> these investigations into action on the city streets. The city becomes
> a playground, a laboratory and a space for the development of new
> networks and communities.
>
> WHAT TO SUBMIT
> Here are examples of the types of projects and events we're looking
> for:
> - exploratory drifts/derives
> - walks with hacked maps or experimental navigation techniques
> - alt.tours by foot, bike, subway, bus
> - social/environmental research and fieldwork
> - workshops
> - temporary public-space installations/interventions
> - performance projects
> - street games
> - mobile-tech/locative media projects
> - social networking projects that focus on cities and urban life
> - project presentations, panel discussions and lectures.
> - film/video works for a film series event.
> - audio projects and musical performances for night events
>
> Projects may take place in the neighborhood surrounding the gallery,
> in other public-space locations in NYC, in the gallery or in a
> different venue you provide.
>
> PLEASE NOTE: We are not doing an exhibition this year. You may provide
> handouts, maps, flyers, etc. for your project but not artwork for the
> walls. There will be wi-fi in the gallery.
>
> ABOUT FUNDING
> Conflux cannot provide individual project funding, but we may be able
> to assist in other ways, such as providing a letter of support, the
> help of our volunteers and discounts at local restaurants and other
> businesses.
>
> PROJECT SELECTION
> These are the criteria the curators use in selecting projects for
> Conflux:
> 1. Relevance: How does the project relate to psychogeography? Does it
> address issues central to classic psychogeography and/or propose new
> methods? Does the project take a unique approach to
> exploring/understanding/changing the city and/or local neighborhood?
> 2. Experience: How do people experience the project? Is the public
> experience of the project well-thought-through? Does it encourage
> dialogue between the diverse communities of New York City?
> 3. Feasibility: Is the project scope reasonable? Does the project have
> its own funding? Can the participants travel to Conflux with their own
> funds?
>
> SCHEDULE
> 10 April 2006: Call for Proposals deadline
