free103point9 is pleased to be covering this year's Conflux festival based on themes of INVESTIGATION, ACTION and TRANSMISSION. We'll be on site to record performances and interview participating artists. Conflux is accepting submissions for the 7th Annual Conflux Festival, which will run October 08-10! Through an open submissions process, Conflux will provide a platform for artists, urban geographers, technologists and others to organize and produce innovative activities dedicated to the examination, celebration and (re)construction of everyday urban life. Conflux proposals must be submitted by August 15 ($10 administrative fee). All proposals will be judged based on artistic merit, originality, and feasibility. Check the FAQ for guidelines and details. Conflux participants will transform New York’s East Village into a laboratory for creative experimentation and civic action. Through public interventions, artist-facilitated walks and tours, interactive performances and installations, bike and subway expeditions, and more, Conflux artists will confront and rewrite the rules of urban public space. The Conflux headquarters will be located in NYU Steinhardt’s Barney Building and will include a festival cafe and lounge. The HQ will serve as a central communications hub during the festival where artists and attendees can meet, swap ideas, and establish new communities of practice. Cutting-edge public space artists will be available in the headquarters throughout the weekend to skillshare, engage in conversation, entertain and provoke.
