After seeing all the cool pictures last year of Flux, I made a note to myself that I would have to go in the future. It almost escaped me this year, but I found out about it in time and had a great group of friends to go with – yay! Alas, we were not able to find any of the Catlanta kittens, but I will get one one day – somehow. Anyway, I’m so glad we went, because the event was a blast!

We started off at Bone Garden, where we practiced our hipster stereotypes. Disaffected stares… go!

Flux is self-described as “an annual one-night public art event presented by Flux Projects in the streets and empty spaces of the Castleberry Hill Arts District. The evening features projections, dance, theatre, music, multimedia, sound and light installations, parades, puppetry, and iron pours.”

The Creative Loafing was there with great props, snapping pics.

Gregor Turk’s installation Interstate 50: Billboard projection. Images of abandoned billboards projected on one.

We got to see neat spaces in and around Castleberry Hill

Saw rousing games of Hunter and the Atlanta Food Trucks.

Saw some amazing acrobatics, that I photographed poorly.

Watched (and watched people watching) Kim Anno’s Men and Women in Water Cities.

Listened to Jane Garver’s Voice Boxes

We practiced hipsterisms some more. Andrew’s pretty good.

Ah, but then Mary gets serious as well.

Finally found the source of the wonderful light baskets I’ve been seeing around town! I’ll be back to buy some for sure!

Watched Jeff Demetriou and Fake Love’s Homesick. Photograph doesn’t capture it, look for videos on YouTube.

The finale was an iron pour and iron-throwing display (Patrick Toup, Dan Timms & others’ Dashusha) – very neat. I shot some pictures, but they don’t capture it, so I took a little video on my phone.
