New York City’s annual festival for contemporary psychogeography, CONFLUX, investigates the everyday urban life through emerging artistic, technological and social practice. Visual and sound artists, writers, urban adventurers and the public gather for four days to explore their urban environment.
Soundwalk is participating in the user-generated all day Conflux Festival event, ConfluxCity, taking place Sunday September 20th from 10am-6pm.
Heres how it works. Visit ConfluxCity 2009 Google Map and check out the up to date events and locations.
Soundwalk will be offering “social listening stations” at three specific locations in Chinatown, Meatpacking District and Times Square. At these locations ConfluxCity participants will find a Soundwalker with a pair of headphones inviting them to listen in on Soundwalk’s audio tour created for that neighborhood and providing coupons with free download information.
Social Listening Station Schedule: Sunday Sept 20th Chinatown (12:00-3:oo pm The Luncheonette Cup & Saucer, 89 Canal St.), Meatpacking District (1:00-4:00 pm Hector’s Cafe 44 Little West 12th St.) Times Square (4:00-6:00 pm Smith’s Bar and Restaurant 701 8th Ave).
Free audio tour downloads for these neighborhoods will be available for the full duration of ConfluxCity Festival – 12:01 a.m. Sept 17th – 11:59 pm Sept 20th. Click here to listen to samples and request your free Soundwalk.
