Conflux 2010 wants YOU to Volunteer!
Hello Conflux friends on Wooloo!
Conflux 2010 begins October 8! While we’re all very excited about the lineup of presenters and events, we need your help to make sure the whole shebang goes off without a hitch.
Volunteer!
While the benefits of volunteering are innumerable, allow me to list a few for you anyhow:
#1, you get in free (at a whopping $15 for the whole weekend it wouldn’t bust your billfold too bad BUT STILL!!!)
#2, you get to meet the artists
#3, you get to mingle with all kinds of psychogeographers and urban explorers
#4, donating your time to a non-profit arts organization is bound to give you a warm fuzzy feeling!
If you have some skills in the following areas and would like to volunteer some time between October 6th evening and October 10th please email Volunteer Lead Katrina Jeffries at volunteer@conflux.org
Here’s what we’re looking for:
Outside Greeter
HQ Table Attendant
Media Technician
P.A.
Installer
Park Liaison
Bartender

There is a mandatory volunteer meeting on Tuesday September 28th at 7:00pm at the Barney Building. For further information about the festival visit http://confluxfestival.org/ and check out the FAQ section.
Conflux, the art and technology festival for the creative exploration of urban public space, presents 75+ interactive art and technology events over the weekend of October 08–10, 2010 in the East Village. Participants will transform the neighborhood into a street-based laboratory with art installations, interactive performances, games, guided expeditions and more.
Highlights: "Interpretive Trails" re-invents Con Edison marks on sidewalks as trail markers in a network of hiking/walking trails. "Tektonomology" is a two-day expedition to catalogue all named buildings in the East Village. "Energy Agency" is a workshop exploring ways collective action can positively impact NYC energy consumption. Italian artist Giulio Ammendola brings his turntable to lead "Wheel," a walk guided by a music-meets-maps mashup.
Indoor events, headquartered at NYU's Barney Building (34 Stuyvesant St.), include a keynote address by renowned urban explorer Steve Duncan, evening performances and the Conflux Café series of artist-led talks and workshops.
Outdoor events are free; a daily pass for indoor events is $5 ($3/students).
As a leading venue for cutting-edge work by public-space artists, technologists, scholars and practitioners of contemporary psychogeography (the study of the geographic environment's effects on our emotions and behavior), Conflux provides an open framework for the examination, celebration and (re)construction of everyday city life.
