Obscura Day, March 20, 2010

In the early 90s, I ran an art/science/tech “salon” here in DC, called Cafe Gaga. One of the more fun things we did was dérive, or the act of purposeful drifting through a city to discover forgotten, interesting, strange places. There as so many weird, wonderful, unique locales in every city that we overlook in our day-to-day.

Obscura Atlas is organizing a global day to celebrate “wondrous, curious, and esoteric places” in cities around the world. See if your city is included, and if not, how you can set up your own Obscura Day event.
