Exploring the City

The Conflux Festival brings together mapmakers, urban adventurers, and performers to "investigate the physical and psychological landscapes of cities," NYC in this case. Tunnels and shortcuts, turning city sound samples into music, guerilla radio on unused FM frequencies, and a nighttime game of pursuit. My personal favorite is tide-propelled commuting on the Tide and Current Taxi. Via Flavorpill.

Bay Area folks -- we need something like this in San Francisco, no?

Damn. You posted this a half-hour too late for me to get to the "Tunnels and shortcuts" tour, which is happening right now. You tease!

Let's be sure to give Christina Ray and her team at Glowlab credit where it's so richly due: the energy, creativity and enthusiasm of the various contributors is of course irreplaceable, but the fact that Conflux exists at all is down to Christina and her crew.
