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 grown and links to other groups (such as Glowlab) have given us inspiration for further investigation.

What is the Psy-Geo 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 two spaces around Providence, the Provflux will be hosted by CUBE2 (230 Westminster St., downtown) and The Steel Yard (27 Sims Ave., Olneyville). Each of the spaces is unique in providing an alternative center for artistic work, while maintaining a commitment to the history of the site.

I'm all the time posting this stuff that I want to actually go to, then forgetting to go.  

Ah well, I don't have any spare money to be buying other people's junk anyway.
