Ten things to know about Flux 2010
Walker St. will be closed while the dancing, cloud cutting, film projecting and art watching will go on until 2 am.

1. Castleberry Hill has been playing host to one-night public art event for a couple years now but this year’s event on Friday Oct. 1, called Flux, looks to be the most ambitious version yet. Walker St. between Haynes and Peters St. will be closed to traffic while the dancing, cloud cutting, film projecting, art watching, and everything else will go on until 2 am.
2. If you want to see Tristan Al-Haddad’s work, hope for a cloudy night. His laser-based work, Cloud Cutting, will “cast planes of amplified green light into the cloud cover.” Even if the weather doesn’t comply on Friday, Al-Haddad’s work will continue through the end of the year.
3. Check out the performance schedule and compare it with the map. Trying to actually see each performance might be a little ambitious, but most of the performance projects like Amber Boardman’s Visual Concert and Zoetic Contemporary Dance Ensemble will have performances on the hour throughout the night.
4. Lima Lives! The late zebra that stopped traffic in Atlanta earlier this year will be honored by a roaming projection. Look for it.
5. Did you have some trouble finding projects or figuring out exactly what was going on at last year’s Le Flash? The organizers behind Flux say they’ll have signs and docents at each project, which should make wandering around a little more comprehensible.
