CONFLUX FESTIVAL 2010

This weekend marks the 7th annual Conflux Festival.  Conflux is a festival that defines itself as a celebratory gathering of different types of artists--exploring and experimenting with the idea of psychogeography.  A term coined by French Writer Guy Debord back in 1955: the psychological experience of the pedestrian when exposed to the stimulants that the urban jungle has to offer.
