What is psychogeography?
Psychogeography is the hidden landscape of atmospheres, histories, actions and characters which charge environments. Learn more about psychogeography here.
What is PIPS?
PIPS grew out of a small group of people looking to investigate the urban environment in detail. Many experiments, small and large, have been undertaken since 2001. Our numbers have steadily grown, and making new connections with people from around the globe has given us inspiration towards further investigations.
What is Provflux?
Part festival and part conference, Provflux brings together visual, performance, and new media artists, along with writers, urban adventurers and the general public to explore the physical and psychological landscape of the city. Anchored in the vicinity of Providence, Rhode Island, Provflux 2006 will be presented entirely in the urban theatre.
Aren't you just a tool of The Man?
The Man has instructed us to answer "no."
What kind of submissions are you looking for?
PIPS wants to engage
as much of Providence (and the world) as possible. We'll host a series of
events that range from lectures on architectural theory and Situationist ideology
to public interventions and street performances, from walking/ biking tours
of the city to arranging games for the public to participate in. If you are
still unsure about what we're looking for, email your questions to pipsworks@gmail.com.
What if I need to travel to Providence?
PIPS would like to encourage all those interested to travel to Providence to take part in the activities, or to host one of your own. One of the ideas of the Provflux is to create more connections between people participating in public interventions.
Our Global
Campground will provide free lodging and some food (light breakfasts and
communal dinners), but please make sure to contact us directly for further
information if you are interested in this option.
RSVP by May 20!
What about show fees/ stipends/ other money issues?
There are no submission fees for the Provflux. As we run on a very minimal budget, artists are only responsible for their own travel and personal expenses.
