I was unimpressed with this art exhibit, unfortunately. I think it’s because I came in with too high expectations. I was under the impression that it would be similar to team Lab (we went to the one in Japan) and be more interactive. The digital art was stunning, but for staying in one room for 30 min, I think it was overpriced. I think this could’ve been worth $8 at MOST. Still a cool experience, but I wish I paid less for it.
Not interactive at all. If you’ve never seen projection mapping it might astonish you, but it’s one big room that you sit in and watch a looping video. You can’t take drinks down the stairs to the floor from the bar, so not sure why you would buy one. Not informative or making much of a statement, just displaying cool art that is theoretically based on stock market prices and the idea of “trust” in a system. The screens up in Chelsea Market that they use as an ad are more fun and actually changed based on your movement - just do that instead of paying. You can’t buy tickets in person, they’ll ask you to pull your phone out and use their website. Surprising that it’s been around for 3 years and they still haven’t created a smooth check in experience (even for folks with tickets it took a long time to check vaccines, and there’s a long intro spiel).
Really cool experience. Theres a bit of a wait even if you have tickets though. they dont run on time. theres a bar inside which is nice and lots of room to walk around.
If youre into this kind of art, you will enjoy it. Its nice after a long day of walking through NY and need to relax and have a drink with entertainment.
Great place for modern artwork and graphics design. I have not seen anything like this before. Although the place is not very big but they have done a great job in terms of the big room that has projection all over it. Its one big room where you can go sit on the ground and enjoy the art. I found it very trippy and very relaxing. My first impression wasn’t good but when I actually sat on the big room and spend 40 mins it was very relaxing and calm.
Highly recommend this super cool art experience. Grab a drink at the bar with friends and then enjoy a truly unique art exhibit.
The projectors were the best, a lot of creativity by the creators, I liked it a lot and I think it is super unique because of the video and the immense editing it takes. I recommend it 100%.
The concept is very cool. I thought it was similar to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit in San Francisco. The downside though was that it didn’t really explain the point of the 30 min visualization. For $25 not a bad exhibit.
Extremely disappointing. The technology is very beautiful and it looks great but theres no depth to it. Its a trippy extraveganza of bright colours, procedural textures, meatballs, l systems and particles. Lots of tropes of 3d animation. There was some odd intersection issues and some obvious low poly faceting.You dont learn anything about neurons, how they work or the amazing work behind it in isolating a human prefrontal cortex neuron.There is an exhibit which I think was trying to show how they used flurophores to visualise the neuron but that was waay too complicated with no explanation and I suspect was rigged up to be just pretty with no relation to how it works as you could turn it up to 80degrees C and Im fairly sure neurons will denature well before then.Great potential but this exhibit a miss for me.
This was a very interesting exhibit. at first I was dizzy and didnt really get the point of it but then the longer I stayed the more I enjoyed it.. the concept was new to me. i had a great time!
I had a lot of expectations before going and it really surprised me for the bad.The place was really small, only 1 room with wall and floor medium resolution projections. The ceiling had no images which kills all the “inmersive” experience. You could see the lights and cables.The room has columns in the middle of everything.Walls have Exit signs interrupting every look.People are sitting on the floor. No chairs, no puff, no sofa, blanquet, pillow, something!! Just the cold, dirty, full of covid particles floor.Very disappointed. Extremely expensive for what it has to offer.
For $30 PP I expected more rooms and a larger experience. Disappointed by the size for the Chelsea, Manhattan location. Bar was a nice touch but drinks were not the best. Fun indoor experience from the cold.
Enjoyed the exhibition. Expected it to be a bit larger than it was, but still found it really interesting and picturesque. Liked the informative video at the beginning also. Most frustrating part was that there was no wifi in the reception area and staff weren’t able to support in purchasing tickets on site. Had to locate wifi in another building to purchase tickets.
Very interesting project! Love the idea of combining art, science, and technology. However, the price to get in is not worth it. It’s not really “two floors.” Literally a couple of screens on the first level and on the lower level the full projection. I read the reviews on this place and should’ve listened. It was a cool experience but maybe lower the price. Also the bar prices were ridiculous especially with Chelsea market right next door. You can easily save your money and go there for a good drink.
Really really cool fractal landscape artwork, and a good date spot in Chelsea.Just be sure to set the expectations that it’s basically one big room and the art projects all over you while you sit on the floor, without any narrative or voice over to accompany the art. There is also a cool room in the back where they explain how the art is made and you can practice doing it yourself.
Extremely different and enjoyable. The main exhibit just pulls your attention and entertains you.
Ok experience as we expected a lot more than watching a movie clip on a loop that repeats every 30 mins. Also they tell you it has multiple rooms which isnt true. Its just one large room with a bar upstairs..
Cool experience but this exhibit was a little bit boring considering how much it costs. Mainly just black and white, no cool colors. Also they say the projections are based off data but don’t tell you what data
Cool but not worth $25. Staff was nice and helpful and the exhibit itself was pretty amazing to see, but its not exactly accessible art. It was slightly misleading in its advertising, as we thought it would be interactive, but you basically just watch a 30-min projection and then leave. Drinks were overpriced and you cant take them into the exhibit.
Been wanting to go here a while cuz they always seem to have very interesting exhibits but never had the time until recently when I went here with some friends to view Geometric Properties. LOVED it, especially after having seen the highly popularized but very disappointing Immerssive Van Gogh experience which was neither immerssive nor an artistic escape. Artechouse, although much more limited in space, controlled the flow of visitors so well and the display of artworks so immersive that you dont feel like youre in a roomful of people or that its just an instagramming hotspot. highly recommend and will definitely visit now often in the future for other exhibits.
Wow! This is such an amazing art experience! It is memorizing and fun for just about anyone. I normally drag my poor husband to many different art exhibitions. Some he enjoys others he just does to humor me. This one he truly enjoyed. So if youre an art lover go if youre not you still should go.
Visited here for Refik Anadols Machine Hallucination NYC. The venue and show was amazing.
This was one of my favorite things I did on my recent trip to NYC! I’d recommend ARTECHOUSE to anyone with a strong imagination or people who like to interpret abstract concepts like poetry or lyrics.There are plaques on the wall that explain parts of the exhibit, but a lot is left up to your interpretation. Personally, I loved that aspect. Five people could go here and see the same thing but leave with five totally different takeaways.It was also a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was nice to pause for a second and just be immersed in art and thought for an hour.
Really really cool place! Must visit! Not overcrowded and you can spend some time in there sitting and enjoying the beautiful art with geometric shapes and amazing immersive technology. The special effects are of such a great quality and takes your mind to another dimension! Love it!
Artech house offers a poor experience of digital art. In the 8 minute video that is shown for a price of $26 on repeat, it comes nowhere to what one might expect. Baring the 2 minute bearable story on how the artist discovers Machine Learning and uses it to train a GAN, does some KNN visualizations, the remaining art piece is boring. There is no story, the video is in no way appealing to the eye and its non interactive. The only thing I can commend the creators on is the camera positioning for seamless transition of the digital art piece from the vertical wall to the horizontal floor. There is just one room, no other. Drinks are not included in the ticket. Do not recommend.
This was a really cool place. Loved how you can just sit on the benches or grab a small pillow and sit on the floor and watch this show all around and below you
Inside, there are only 5 exhibition. And, only 2 of them are exciting. It was nice to see bot nothing more, pretty boring and definitely not worth the price. The staff was great.
So cool!! i really liked looking at all the art and everything was really nice. it was a short little fun thing to do and pretty cool. the only con about this place is that the interactive app wasnt available on my android phone. heres some pics of the place
Always great exhibitions with a reasonable price.If you love exhibitions with light and sound effects, this is one of the best places to visit in NYC.Hidden in the Chelsea market, this is a great place with modern arts.There are rotating exhibitions every several months, and the trust exhibition recently is pretty awesome with a sense of “data visualization” over the years.Surprisingly, the exhibition comes with a cocktail bar inside. The drinks are good with $17.For the recent exhibition, I would recommend past and present (last words and penicillin)The entrance is on the outside of the Chelsea market, and be sure to book your ticket online and arrive at dedicated time.A recommended museum here for immersive experience!
Fun cheap and quick thing to do in the city!!please keep in mind that this isn’t really a big exhibit it’s just a room filled with lights and then they have a few interactive things on the side. definitely a one time thing but it’s worth going the one time!
Trust- Theoretically a very cool concept, but execution was pretty lacking. The intro video threw out so many buzzwords and set pretty lofty expectations, only to step in and have basically dispersing white and red dots that would occasionally form cityscapes. The closest it came to fitting the intro is the display next to the bathroom that had what could have been cool trending graphs, if it would stop flashing enough for you to read it, and had labels for lines that you could actually match, instead of having small, offset white text labels on a graph of 20 white lines.I’m normally quite a fan of intersections of tech and art but this one felt like the creators were so deep in their own creative process that they failed entirely to consider that anyone else would ever try to parse it - or maybe that was the point. Definitely one of those pretentious art exhibits that boomers complain about.
Really trippy and enjoyable but recommend coming ‘under the influence’ to enhance the experience lol PLEASE BE SAFE!! also bring your own music if you want to curate your own vibe
It was a cool experience, however, if you went to the interactive Van Gogh experience then this one is a lesser version of that concept. This one also has a darker feel. Overall, it was pretty good and when we went at 10am there were no other people for the whole hour!
I came here on a date. It was a fun experience. Really relaxing to watch the trippy images in motion.The images were displayed twice in one hour so you can watch and admire the first half of the hour and take pictures the second half.The images in motion were displayed on the ceiling, floor and the three walls around.As i was leaving, i felt dizzy, i almost fell.
Second time coming to Artechouse and I enjoyed the new installation! Enjoyed the shapes and presentation. Very spacious! I recommend. Just vibe with the art! Will be coming back next time I visit NYC.
Definitely not worth the $26 price point. The pictures make it seems like its a huge space with interactive effects. But in reality Its only a 15-30 min video that repeats in a very small space. Also found it hard to focus on the video and truly enjoy the experience with people walking around, and the room not being completely dark due to lights coming from the bar.
This place is really cool. The are pieces are awesome and blown my expectations. The big projector art is really soothing. The exit door on the front wall was little distracting.
Went here on a first date - would not recommend for the $25pp ticket, just a room with a 30 min loop of projected images... So much lost potential with sound or interesting lights. Even the colours used were dull. Ticket should be around $10 each or there should be more activities
One of my favorite art centers in the city. They change exhibits every few months which gives this it re-visit value. Tickets are timed, and presentations usually run on a thirty minute loop, but I’ve never seen anyone asked to leave. This place is fun, immersive, and worth the price of admission. Also, they’re right next to Chelsea Market, so it’s easy to make a day of it.
If you’re there to appreciate the art and immerse yourself in it instead of just taking pictures for your Instagram, then it is a great experience!
It was cool and psychedelic. Good to experience, good concepts, but definitely not worth the price. As an art person, and someone who does enjoy immersive art (and is willing to dish out $25+ for good art), this is did not quite meet the mark. Not the best immersive experience. Spend your hefty price somewhere else, or come if youre a neuroscience geek like my friends.
Honestly a cool experience but definitely not worth $30. The exhibit is small and doesn’t have a lot of information along with the art. Really only 3 things to look at. Expected more and was very underwhelmed. Needed around 10 minutes to see everything but the timeframe was an hour.
DO NOT Waste your time !! This place should be shutdown. They dont have any presentation to properly explain their research about life of neuron nor do they have any staff to explain. they have just kept few small posters to explain it a little bit. On a very huge screen they continue to display pictures of neurons , people sit on floor expecting some presentation but nothing ever shown so people leave the place with great frustration.
It was a cool experience, but it was hard not to be disappointed after the price. I guess I expected a bit more - time recommended was around an hour, so I was a bit surprised it was only a 30 minute video on loop. I guess I was expecting something more along the lines of Meow Wolf as its an art exhibition that sits in the same price range.Now, had the show been of such high quality that it blew my mind, I think the price could have been justified, but I wasnt feeling the cutting edge that was touted - for example, the projectors seemed pretty mid quality and werent even running at 60hz or maybe not even 48hz.Still cool, but go in with the expectation that this is some NYC pricing.
Went to the neuron thing in a whim. Its marketed as an intersection between art and science, but its really just art inspired by science. It was actually pretty cool to watch, but the peripheral exhibits were underwhelming. The WiFi was broken (I have a hunch it never works). I downloaded their enormous app anyway. It did some mildly cool AR stuff but not worth it. Overall it was cool but overpriced.
Beautiful artwork. The experience is so nice you tend to be lost and wont realize how fast the time passes
Honestly, this experience was definitely underwhelming and overpriced. It looks so cool online and in person it just doesn’t live up to what they’re showing. If you are ok with paying for a single room with some projections on the wall then go for it. But that’s really it. It’s mostly just one big room with projectors. There’s some little displays on the side but just really overrated. The drinks tasted great but were also very overpriced.
Not worth the $25 they are charging! Should be like $10 for whats being offered. The current exhibition Trust was kind of a disappointment. It gets boring and hard to focus on after the first 5-10 minutes since its mainly black and white. Definitely felt the lack of color. Unimpressed this time. Not coming back and not recommending to friends.
Great gallery, amazing Trust exhibition. But the reception person extremely rude and impatient. Seemed like the public was getting in the way of something more important she had to do. She was shouting at the people in line about the tickets. The explanation she gave, also shouting, in a hurry and without the slightest good will, left much to be desired for the understanding of the artwork. It was insufficient. It was not possible to understand the relationship between what we saw and the idea of trust and how data is part of the artwork. There could have been complementary material to be read. Anyway, it is worth the visit.
Loved every minutes of it. It’s also not a bad price when compared to other exhibits in NYC
Machine Hallucination was an okay exhibit but not spectacular as far as digital shows go. It may be underwhelming if youre used to these types of shows but still a good place to kill 30 minutes.
The visuals are very awesome to look at. You can easily get lost in the visual art if you let yourself. I thought the space was bigger (based on the reviews and videos). You can either be there for a half hour or 10 minutes 🤔. It was a good experience but Im not sure if Id go back; good for a one time experience
Went to the Life of a Neuron exhibit. Tickets sold for 1 hour. After lining up first outside, then inside, they let us in at the 15 minute mark (despite timed tickets and arriving on time). Most of the exhibits are videos playing on regular screens, not labeled or explained. There’s one main room that has an immersive video playing on a 20 minute loop, but other than that it’s extremely underwhelming. Best part is that they closed two of the rooms of the exhibit 15 minutes before the end, effectively giving us only 30 minutes of actually exhibit time. Super disappointed, and will not be returning.
Awesome unique type of art. Great for all ages.
If you love visualizers this is the place for you to be! The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. The Geometric Properties Show alone is worth the trip to Artechouse. The place is not crowded and leaves enough room for everyone to sit socially distanced to enjoy the show.
If you’re looking for a good nap, this is the place to go. As we walked into the lobby we are greeted by a cool dark aesthetic, with a description written on the wall. It talks of social media, and how the past, present, and future relate to each other in this grand cosmic dance of technology, privacy, and the state of the world. The attendant tells us it’s a 45 minute experience. I was very excited as I have never heard of this place before.Before entering we are instructed to watch a video. As the video plays it hypes up the experience. It builds up this epic Art Technology mixture that’s a one of a kind cutting edge experience.As we walk into the dark room, my eyes adjust to what lay before me and immediately knew I had got got. It’s one room with projectors projecting visuals around the room. That’s all. Nothing more nothing less. I instantly realized it and wanted to head towards the exit as soon as I entered.My girlfriend and I gave it the benefit of the doubt and stayed about 40 mins. Mainly because we had dinner reservations afterwards and wanted to stay warm. We fought boredom every minute, struggling to find meaning or purpose in this mid tier light show. We did not.As we walked to the exit we felt our energy and excitement for life return.3/10.
Cool exhibit but the price of admission is not justified. A 20 min loop Plays in 1 room only
I love the scenery I especially loved the bar and I would definitely come here with friends
The experience was out of this world! The tech used to gain the special effects is mind boggling. Its interactive, colorful & sends your mind into different dimensions. A definite must see.
Went there with the family and we had an amazing experience. The main installation Geometric Properties was breathtaking and innovative. I still cant believe its all just fractals. It felt like I was in a different world. The other interactive installation was very fun! The staff there was great and were very helpful. They gave me an intro about the space and also their COVID policies which they maintain very well. Cant wait for their next exhibition!
Horrible experience don’t go! First of all, the woman who works there is beyond rude and unwelcoming. she made it extremely uncomfortable for us since the second we got in. Terrible start for an “experience “. Also, This show is completely unlike anything it advertises. It’s all in back and white and gloomy - not colorful and fun like it shows in the reviews. Do yourself a favor a don’t spend the money
My expectations were high for this. It’s literally just one room with projectors on the walls and floors. THAT’S IT. I thought the experience would be more immersive and trippy but it’s not. Plus, if you decide to lay down you naturally look up at the ceiling. You are then blinded by the projectors.Overall this place has bad user experience and is overrated. However, it had a lot of potential.
The pictures and intro definitely implied it was much more expansive than it actually is.Dont be fooled: Its a giant room with projectors; with a pre-rendered video that plays on a loop. The live data updated are basically price of BTC and some other key metrics on a graph, hidden away in a room by the bathrooms.Cool for the gram, but definitely felt bamboozled on this one.
I love this place. I could sit in this installation all day. If you enjoy an immersive experience this is a great budget friendly thing to check out. You could walk through in less than an hour but I enjoy just hanging out.
The story of the projection with our Barco’s , just stunning
Was really looking forward to this exhibit. Was expecting something similar to the Van Gogh museum with a lot of installations, good music, and explanations. The artechouse was extremely disappointing. All you do is sit on the floor and watch a video that goes on replay with no explanation. The exhibit is supposed to be about the idea of trust but they never defined trust in any way. While the graphics were cool looking they had no context to them. This whole museum is built on hype culture. Left in 10 minutes. Gotta find a better present for mothers day now.
I found this more visually stimulating than Van Gogh exhibit. It was fun to have a coctail bar with mind inspired libations, although very pricey, they were delicious. I would have loved some words or voice explanation of what we were seeing.
It was trippy but was it worth the price? THe staff super friendly, but they make you watch a best of reel before you enter so it kind of blew the surprise element. And you had to listen to what sounded like some BS conceptual explanation of rando cool graphics. But ok. But then it was just one room, and the view of it included people instagramming themselves in front of it. Cool but also a bit pricey yeah?
Amazing experience. Cant wait to go again once they change the art again!
Definitely did not live up to what I was expecting. It was literally just a room with a replay of the same video. There was a room upstairs and downstairs with static images. People would just grab a pillow and sit on the ground and watch the replay of the video. I think most people stayed just because they paid a ridiculous price. Would pay at most $5.
I appreciate the artists digital works. However, It is just one big room with a projector, once you arrive you just sit on the ground and watch what is being projected and it’s the same works that they project for a whole hour. Nothing to “experience” here, save yourself the $25.
The visuals were amazing but the sound to go with it was so quiet you could pretty much only hear people talking like in a café. It is also only one 30 minute projection show despite them having said it was an hour long.
Such an interesting viewpoint. Life thru its different stages, in the simplest of formats
This place is very cool- I went and saw the Life of a Neuron exhibit. Like many said, the setup of the space is very simple. Theres essentially one large room with a almost 360 degree digital art experience that tells the story of whatever is available at the time. Theres also some smaller rooms adjacent/above the main room that covers other details of the main exhibits topic.For $25 a ticket, I think its a bit high. In comparison, the digital art experiences in Asian countries that are like 5-10x bigger in space with more interactive elements are about the same price.However, the museum is located inside Chelsea Market. For that convenience alone to get you some good eats afterwards, maybe that gives you some conviction to try this out.
I took the family and freinds out for this and we couldnt be happier. My 1yr 8m baby girl couldnt stop saying wow. She was in a trance experiencing the space. The plus side is the bar! The drinks were actually really good.
This place is way more than pictures and video can illustrate. The staff are very friendly. When I arrived I was later than my visit time but just join the line and youll be in shortly. I recommend going two hours before closing so you can truly enjoy the place. Come with a friend to talk with and enjoy the space keep yourself from being on your phone try to be as present as possible. I own a traveling page on instagram @k_ventures
So I went there March 13th I booked my timing for 5:30 but because of unforeseen circumstances I didn’t get there till 6:30, so I emailed them and they were more than happy to accommodate. The experience itself is amazing very inspiring and beautiful definitely will be coming back in the future.
A truly extraordinary experience. It was a wonderful show: the life of a Neuron
CowBOY Duck visited here.Its very nice and interactive. Very nice.One star less is for value for money, there is only One show room and the price is to hihe for that.Keep going and bring some more things like that.
I found it an incredible experience, even though it was the same video on a loop, it felt alive, and I could have stayed there many more hours than I did!Its not a place to overanalyse, lay back and enjoy the trip 🙂
Artechhouse NYC is neither art nor technology. It is the most weird experience you can ever have. We spent almost $ 100 to see Life Of A Neuron show. It is a 20-minute display of fast-moving random images on a big screen without any explanation, no voice-over, no caption. The *so-called* technological experience is actually a room of almost 400 Sq. Ft. with big screen in front, screen in the ceiling and floor. Essentially, all walls, ceiling, floor etc. is a TV screen. As you walk in they will play 20-minutes very lound, unpleasant and strange music with random images on the all the screen at once! You feel dizzy. You have to figure out that all this non-sense of sound and random images is the life of a neuron! What a waste of time and human talent. These artists and scientistis will better serve humanity by working at Starbucks and serve good coffee instead of creating & promoting such pathetic non-sense. Staff at the Artechouse NYC is unhelpful, disengaged and bored. Request to great people who spent valuable time in creating this: Stop.
Truly an amazing experience the staff was cool the design and show it’s self was great ,sadly there are only two other things to do which includes a virtual bar and a separate room with smaller art piece to play with which is still amazing. Would recommend
The space is well laid out, intimate rather than immense. There is an interactive area to experiment with designs on screens using a sensor. This is a good place to hang out with friends for a bit. One could choose to mellow out/ meditate or stroll around and take it all in
Exhibit was nice but the experience was ruined by a worker standing in the middle of the screen at every shot and shoving a camera at all our faces to shoot a promotional video.
Technically only one major exhibit. The others three exhibits are small projections. Very chill and relaxing. Cool experience. Plan maximum 2 hours here. Cost is $24 (without fees)per person which is a bit high for the experience. You also can purchase non-alcoholic drinks for $8 dollars but you can only enjoy upstairs with the three small exhibits. Looking forward to artechouse growing and expanding so we can enjoy more!
I was a fun experience. I dont know if its worth the price tag tho. Theres one room and the exhibition lasted about 35 minutes.
Overpriced. Looks cool online but in person its just a room with some projectors and people sitting on the ground. That’s really it. Like two little displays on the side but thats it. The drinks tasted great but were also very overpriced.
Exhibit has 3 attractions. This a is a visual and auditory experience. Located in the Chelsea Market. The main exhibit is a room where you sit on the floor to view the projections so I would not recommend for the elderly crowd or small children as this can get uncomfortable. Visuals are very intense so beware.
This was a great experience. The music was powerful and the graphics were superb. It is basically one main room where you are immersed in a laser show telling a story with music and lights. There are other rooms with smaller displays but they are not great like the main show room.
I just visited this place today in NYC and it was AMAZING! Absolutely worth the tickets. It was a little annoying dealing with some of the other people who were standing during the display taking pictures and blocking the view but other than that the projections were breathtaking!
Cool but a total waste of money. Stare at the walls for 10 minutes and now go home. Wouldve been better if they told us what we were looking at.
It was wonderful experience, the staffs were really nice. They are doing something really innovative, I just wish to see little more innovative.
I like it. Though the event lasts an hour but this hour ends very quickly. I would like to feel full immersion, and not only on the walls.
ARTECHOUSE is one of my favorite immersive experiences in NYC. Im so happy theyre permanent because I get to keep returning to explore their different, beautiful installations. I always feel welcomed when visiting because their staff is helpful, and their bartenders are also wonderful! I highly recommend visiting if you enjoy digital, immersive artwork.
Very cool experience, no time limit to be there, bring your prefessional camera to have fun, I regret no bringing mine, they give military discount, i wanna say is an unique experience and its very well located in the heart of meat packing distric, you exit on Chelsea Market. Rsvp required otherwise most likely you wont be able to go in.They have a non alcohol bar, kids friendly, for people all ages. You might get a little dizzy. It gives the impression on screens being all over but its all proyectors. There’re benches and also they give u small pillow to seat on or u can even lay on the floor
I loved coming here with my friend. The place is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They all wear masks and have sanitizer.With my friend we were trying to take pictures and one of the staff members called us and gave us some tips for making the best pictures. 💙I loved the art displayed and will come back! It can be a experience for the whole family.
Its really awesome experience for us. Its one hour show . The lighting show really mindblowing. They also maintain the safety issue for the customer and also maintain the distance. They have 4 satup for now. And also they have one gift store. They dont have any parking and the street parking is not too easy.They have one common restroom. Its very clean.Each and every employee very friendly and helpfull for you . I am very satisfied for overall service . 🌹
It’s an interesting experience with digital art but it’s one room so there’s not much to see after the first few minutes when the display starts to loop again.
I had a great time there! It aint the one in DC but I enjoy the little exhibits they have, my favorite part was the interactive parts. The future is close 😊
At last NYC gets an art space dedicated to groundbreaking artists working at the intersection of art, science and technology. The current show is Machine Hallucination by Refik Anadol. Know before you go that the technology is complex and glitchy so there may be delays. Also the lights are very bright, strobe-like and erratic. I had to close my eyes a couple of times bc it made me nauseous but was ok otherwise.
Pretty cool experience! I could have stayed there for hours!Wish there wasnt as many people though, was pretty packed inside and hard to find proper seating areas
One of the female employees made the experience not worth while. Constantly watching over your shoulder and policing their mask policy. Not allowed to take pictures without a mask for 1 second without being asked to leave even while social distancing. Honestly wouldn’t waste your time here - The Summit experience is a million times better!
This is a very cool installation; some might call it a gallery but I think its a bit too small for that. The installation I saw was called Machine Hallucinations, the centerpiece of which was a room almost entirely projected with video. It draws upon open source data of New York, and is very pretty. You absolutely should see it for yourself; itll almost definitely be worth your time.
I wish it could be a zero stars t book this a month in advance and when we got here they said that the place is booked for a private show and we cant come in absolutely ridiculous we travelled all the way from New Jersey for this
A great event experience to have. The space was very welcoming with a very professional and courteous staff to operate it while keeping everyone safe. The overall effect of the space was meditative and made for some great photos and videos to have. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something quick to do to kill some time
Thought it be different room exhibit but was pleased for the light show. The pillars obstruct the view but support the building & the roof isn’t cover so the projection is visible. There’s cushions by the couch to sit anywhere in the exhibit and there’s a lockbox/coat check-in available, along w the standby bar.
Amazing space and a great show with the world famous Refik Anadol. A must see when in NYC.
Really beautiful presentation. Recommended.
I thought it was a pretty fun experience! The show was intriguing and lots of opportunities for cool photos. I did think it was going to be bigger and not just 1 main room but overall worth it. They have lockers (for free) which are a great add-on to store your jacket/bag. They also provide some seats and cushions so you dont have to sit on the floor if its not your thing. The corner spots are the most sought after so setup around them so you dont have to fight to the death for them lol.
If your not trying to walk a lot and want a relaxing experience this is your place to visit its a one room with a nice bar above and you can sit around taking it all in with the beautiful pictures surrounding you!
Machine Hallucination: NYC immersive exhibition is one of a kind time and space exploration of NYC. When art meets technology, I’m definitely recommending this for everyone.
I have been to the Artechhouse in DC before so the bar was quite high when I visited Artechhouse NYC. I must say - they definitely exceeded my expectations. Artechhouse NYC is located in Chelsea close to many other cool spots and eateries which is a plus. I loved the exhibition. It was an audio-visual immersive experience. It was a treat to your mind and body. If you have the app, you can interact with some of the exhibits. I am looking forward visiting them again to experience newer projects.
Visual audio showcase for artists.There is a main room for the large audio visual exhibit that they happen to be featuring at the time.Theres also an upper floor for some additional exhibits. There was also a small room for an interactive experience when I visited.Really appreciate these type of spaces for this type of art.
Incredible experience for the “Geometric Properties” exhibit. Perfect, intimate venue for this innovative experience. Staff is quite knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. Highly recommend.
Underwhelming experience. Went in with high expectations, but it turned out to just be one big room. The artwork wasnt very diverse in color schemes (everything was grayscale) and quickly became boring. Not worth the price.
I’ve been to two different exhibits here and have always enjoyed it. It’s a great space to really experience and installation. Looking forward to what’s next!
You know those experiences where youre neither happy nor unhappy well this assimilates that. Nonetheless the upgrading and transformation of the space is spectacular and the resolution of the big screens are impeccable. ---- The experience itself felt lacking. As I entered I was expecting something similar with a different theme to the one in Miami Beach but no this one lacks that interactive experience that the one in Miami offers. The Main Room is great. This is not a hate post but I definitely think the pricing is a little out of touch for the experience offered; they just should definitely keep innovating though.
I loved going to this exhibit but I had to leave early because I didnt realize Id get so nauseous from the constant movement but otherwise its really cool!
A super fun spot to check out. The displays change periodically, so its a fun place to visit again and again.
The TRUST exhibit was incredibly captivating. It was the my second visit to ARTECHOUSE and I thoroughly enjoyed the creativity and quality of the art in an immersive space. Highly recommended.
This art meets data meets activism is an immersive experience. The explanation is one you want to read back, because the story is told beforehand at such speed one can barely follow. Especially when you enter the building with a bit of a buzz. Still worthwhile of our time, and right there at the end of the highline.
Not worth the money 🤣 its so cool when you walk in and then thats it. It gets boring really quick. They should add something to it like a story line or good music you know make it interactive! The only reason they are making some money is just good marketing. So good on them for a fantastic marketing team 🤣
You have to go here. Its an immersive and awesome digital exhibit with cool music and mixed digital media. Im telling you, just go and experience it yourself. Its hard to describe in text.
It was dope! I have been wanted to visit this installation for a while, and when I came here on a date, I was wowed.The fractals were encompassing, vibrant, and very surreal. I was there for about 20 minutes, and the whole time I was pretty impressed.I also very much liked the fractal lab! I see how talented these people are making these. Overall I had a great time! Def worth the price
Come here for an escape from reality. Artechouse features a new artist every few months and each exhibit is a real delight to experience.
The experience is very unique but NOT worth the price imo
This was our favorite immersive art experience in NYC and we visited several. Both relaxing and intriguing.
I wanted to take my partner to a fun interactive entertainment. This was amazing! 1.affordable 2. They have alcoholic beverages available 3. Amazing installation w/ interesting artist. You can sit/ stand anywhere you want on the floor. If partake in legal herbs, this may be just the spot for you!
Glad I went to explore the current experience to know what I don’t like and it’s a cute date spot.The exhibition felt like it was really just an excuse to sell NFTs. Which seem really artificially hyped at the moment. As a viewer I thought the “art“ of “machine hallucinations” lacked substance and the explanation was lacking. The staff Artechouse however was very accommodating and offered me a complementary rebooking in case I would not have been able to attend.
I got excited when I saw cool pictures online and was expecting the same but there isn’t much to see! only two different laser arts in two different rooms. My friend had already warned me but I already had brought my tickets and no refunds once you purchase the tickets. Not worth the money Very disappointing. If you want to visit the ARTECHOUSE please read the reviews don’t just get hyped up from the pictures on google!
Man was this place cool. Such a great part of the day and could stay in here for a long time. Jaw dropping visuals, would definitely come back
Impressive art work. The music, the theme, the lights, interactive augment reality, and chill vibes really made it an awesome date for me. I loved it and would recommend it to others.
A great immersive art exhibit! Went with my 14 year old niece who enjoyed it as much as I did. Would love to go back and see more exhibits here.
Really enjoyed this art installation! (Machine Hallucination) For me it was more fun to enjoy it standing up and walking the room. Sitting down didnt feel really immersive. The short info provided before entering the installation was very well structured and well presented. The staff was really nice and friendly. There is a tiny locker room where you can leave your stuff so you can just enjoy the installation without worrying about coats and bags. All in all it was a great experience!
It should be free...thought there was going to be screens all over the room including the ceiling...why not...just stayed in one room, there should have been multiple rooms to enter...artwork was cool but at the same time made no sense...30mins then it repeats...could have stayed home and read a book :/
The exhibit was impressive but not worth 25 dollars. Maybe 10. It is one large room with wall to wall and floor projections. There is a bar on the second floor. It was great to watch for maybe 5-10 minutes. Then you leave. Nothing else. It may be worth 25 dollars if there were 3 or 4 different rooms with other setups.
Beautiful place, Open space to ve free inside the images. SO pretty. Cant wait to go again 🙏💖
Interesting place. Unfortunately people were very loud and walking all over the place when i was at the room, so I couldnt even relax and enjoy the art.Also, there needs to be a separate lane for those who have tickets and those who havent. It can get confusing at times.I can definitely recommend the place, but it needs to improve on these things.Also they dont allow selfie stick or gimbal, but i dont remember seeing anywhere that it wasnt allowed, or maybe I just didnt see it.
Very cool visual, art installation. We had the non-alcohol drinks which were crafted based on the data of popular ingredients used for drinks in different parts of Manhattan. They were pricey but tasty. We then immersed ourselves into the staging area which has video images being shown across three walls of the exhibit. It is definitely a visual sensory experience. We had a super fun time and would definitely recommend going here. Book your tickets ahead for a specific time to arrive. Enjoy!
It was pretty cool for the first couple of minutes but unless if you’re high, it quickly wears off. For the price they charge, it is definitely not worth the money. You’re better off just going to a concert or rave when COVID-19 ends. Don’t let the photos fool you either, it is only one big room with one installation. You’ll walk in and be done within about 30 minutes or less.
Love this place! Definitely go back when they have new illustrations
Mesmerizing! My whole family including a 3- and 5-year-old remained fully captivated for over an hour within a stunningly beautiful digital installation called Machine Hallucination by artist Refik Anadol. With Artechouse, he transformed Chelsea Markets boiler room into an immersive environment with several seamless and super dynamic high-def trippy projections and in an upstairs section, a couple videos of a morphing NYC. With plenty of room, my kids had their fun and freedom. What a magical trip!NOTES/TIPS:**Family-friendly!**No major signage except for on the door. Its entrance is past the W15th St. entrance to Chelsea Market and within the same building.**Gender-neutral and wheelchair-accessible restroom in the upper section.**Wheelchair-accessible w/elevator to lower level**Adult (Ages 15-64): $24, Child (Ages 2-14): $17, Student & Senior (65+), Military: $20
Very cool experience. Definitely worth checking out. Theres an upstairs area with interesting morphing wall art (I spent like 20 min just watching these various pieces). Didnt visit the mock tail bar, but thats there if you want. Downstairs is the main attraction where you can get comfortable on cushions and watch a trippy laser projected art show all around you. Supposedly incorporates ai, machine learning, and millions of images... All in all I spent an hour or so, though some could probably get their fill in 30 min and others could stay much longer.
Great project, cool space. BUT: Too many guests are too obsessed with taking photos of themselves. Cameras and smartphones should be banned in the main room.
The place is literally a boiler room 🔥 get ready to feel hot 🥵 (there’s coat check/locker room though)! Interesting take on how to efficiently use left over space... Many photo spots but also many people so you gotta act quick to take good shots.Featuring Pantone’s Color of the Year 2020: Classic Blue 💙There’s also a bar that offers mocktail. Didn’t try it, but looks like gatorade served in cocktail glasses.
The idea is amazing, but the execution isn’t.Not worth it, basically a big trippy room.
Scam, definitely not an experience worth $25 a head. not what was advertised, and trying so hard to be “meta” to the point of just being convoluted and nonsensical. the bartender was great though
An incredible sensory experience which is worth going to the far reaches of the WestSide for...
Cool experience but kind of a gimmick / tourist trap - should be no more than a movie ticket (~$15 pp max)
Its nice BUT to my it doesnt cost the 25k its just 1 room and its not even whole the room. I was disappointed. It is good but not so good as it looks through pictures
Cool but NOT WORTH $25. Expected much more for the price
Went there for intangible forms by Shohei Fujimoto hiswork was great as for the space it is a single space 2 tiered digital art gallery, wjth high ceilings and 6 pillars that dominate the space, only issue was at the door with the covid check, I believe the host may have needed more training or better tools, she was struggling not touching people with a wrist thermometer, give the host a proper wireless thermometer it should be no contact for both their safety as well as others.
Perfect location - central and close to the subways. Nice rooms with good customer service from the front desk to Housekeeping.Only drawback was no refrigerators in the room.
Very very beautiful exhibit. Very unique from your usual art, 16K resolution all around you, need I say more? Immersive, not to crowded, safe and just relaxing.
Was okay. Essentially just 1 large room. Its a visual experience. Dont think I would return. I dont recommend
Very disappointing. Having experienced different multimedia spaces, we expected another cool location. But not a one and a half space with some projection on the walls of a basement….
I dont get it. Great you can make art from data, but no explanation of the data during the show? Like none. So what I am seeing is an random sequence which you claim to be the data visualized. No I dont buy it.
I wished it had more. It was cool, but it needed something else. It isn’t that big either. You can’t really tell when you are at the beginning or the end of the show
This was extremely boring and shouldHave been free. There is basically one room you go into and see some moving colors around you. We spent 6 minutes there and were ready to leave.
An educational and technologically artistic portrayal of geometry! Our family including 2 teenagers thoroughly enjoyed it. The hour flew by!
It was cool! But a little bit expensive. The Submerge show repeated every 30 minutes. Adult ticket: $26
Very excited for this experience but it did not live up to the expectations. Very expensive and you just sit in a room watching a movie loop. Very underwhelming, nothing exciting.
I love it here ! You won’t be disappointed
Really cool space, smaller than you might think so its nicer with less people in order to enjoy the art to its fuller potential. Take a moment from taking photos (which is a must) to just let the art envelop you.
Super cool. Kinda wish it was a different show but the abstract art is so awesome. Very well done.
Interesting experience. We saw the work of Refik Anadol. There is a looped projection experience in the downstairs area and you can sit as long as you like. I did not try the mocktails. I read some conflicting reviews saying the mocktails are included in the experience; they were not part of our admission which was purchased in advance online.
Jaw dropping visuals. We went for The Life of A Neuron. It was very educational and entertaining!
Great animation, but we expected more than just the one big and one small room for the entry price.
Definitely a tourist trap. They sell this place like it’s 3 levels of exhibits when it’s just one big room with moving images projecting on the wall. It’s just a place to post cool looking pictures for your Instagram.
I went to the neuron exhibit the other day and for 20 dollars (if you are a student) it was amazing!
Trippy, but in a good way.They also have cocktails inside.Book tickets online before going there.
I was quite disant with the last show.The room is very small and not the same feeling as in larger places.Expensive for a 20min average show
Very nice and immersive experience.
I LOVE this artist but this feels like a cheaper version of Tokyos borderless. If the video themes were separated into 30 minute ambient animations with individually matching tracks and projections carried onto the ceiling, this half realized installation would provide a more compelling mind expanding experience youd expect from a global city like NYC.
Machine Hallucination NYC was really good! We enjoyed it very much. Kind of hard to describe ... definitely one of those things you just have to see for yourself to appreciate.
Really depending on the artists and shows. Very special place in New York to experience immersive arts.
I usually hate video art, but it turns out if it is really well done, as it is here, it is a delight, despite the annoying influencer types who are trying to capture selfies.
This experience is just not interesting nor unique in any way. Kids May enjoy it but for adult it is not worth the cost.
Just saw the “Machine Hallucinations” show- if you are not an art nerd I don’t think this show is for you… despite marketing itself as a show about NYC, most of the 30 minutes was spent looking at waves (that somehow weren’t relaxing) and very occasionally there was an AI rendering of NYC scenes. Cool in concept but definitely not a must see for the “average person”. I also left incredibly dizzy, which doesn’t really happen to me. Overall for the price the experience was not worth it and I would not recommend.
A great experience for anyone looking for a fun date night idea or family experience. This is another instagram-able location which provides a viewing of various scenes/chapters on the wall. The only reason why I rated it a 4 was that our ticket was for 730pm and we had to wait 30mins to enter our time slot. As you walk in, it’s very warm (note use the coat racks). The light display is situated over 2 floors with 3 displays on the first floor and a non Alcoholic bar. As you descent to the main floor you pull up some cushions and enjoy the show. The experience can run from 30mins to an hour. Depending on how long it takes you to take pictures.
Really fun, interesting, and educational experience. I dont think the show is actually 30 minutes but still fun to watch from a different perspective like by the bar. Very reasonable prices for the experience too
Submerged myself in this major exhibit. You need to plan to spend some time, especially in the main room. The flow of going through the exhibit needed work. I didnt know there was another room until I asked someone standing there. The bartender at the AR bar was not inviting nor did he explain very well. Overall a fun experience though.
This is the reality. If you like to watch screensavers in repeat mode probably the best place to visit.
Medicore experience, the whole hallucination effects gets cumbersome and boring after few minutes. In my opinion, the whole experience can be made interesting if they portray some kind of narrative or story line behind the effects.
Waited outside for 25 minutes until we were aloud in. The space is so small I was expecting it to be bigger. You can’t take photos without your mask ON even if you’re social distancing which makes zero sense because other places like this you can and online you see so many people without masks on. The lady was literally stalking us if we took our mask off for a second to take a photo and threatening to kick us out if masks are removed. Just not an enjoyable experience at all and it gets boring after like 10 minutes of the presentation
For the money paid, it felt like being immersed in a windows media player screen saver from the early 2000s. I went with a friend to see Truth, and found the presentation and audio to differ greatly from the artworks intended description.
I was so excited to come here after seeing all of the videos online. The visuals were absolutely brilliant and the interactive digital art was amazing. The only problem we had was one of the girls at the check in booth was so extremely rude to us and our guests. She wasn’t communicating properly even though I asked her a few times to clarify the information she was giving and she got annoyed with me and rolled her eyes like I was bothering her. She left a really bad impression as the first point of contact for the business.
Loved it! This type of immersive art is so cool. Find a spot on the floor and it flows all around you. Fantastic.
Seriously like over 90 degrees in this place. All their projectors generate so much heat, they need to increase the cooling!

2022-02-16ID & vaccine card required upon entry. Interesting art exhibit. Introduction given in a private room with video. Then you enter the one big room where the art experience is. Bar to the left and stairs down to the experience.I honestly was unimpressed. I thought there would be a few more rooms available.... but it was a one room experience where all the images were on a loop. I thought on valentines they would make it more special, but no...I definitely recommend to get a drink here: to immerse more in the art. I truly enjoyed my trust drink. Great bartender..One co ed bathroom for the place...be aware

2022-04-19This was an amazing find on Instagram that was really looking forward! Unfortunately, it did not live up to expectation. It was just a large area with a replay of the same video going. There was a room upstairs and downstairs with static images. Everyone would just grab a pillow and sit on the ground and watch the replay of the video as you had an hour to spend inside. I don’t think it was worth the ticketed fee. There is a location in area 15 in Vegas with the same concept but there is surround sound and outstanding films shown. I would recommend area 15 more than this.

2022-01-141 room that plays a half hour video on loop. The patterns are cool and the whole NFT aspect of it sparks a little bit of interest but this is sort of a gimmick more than a musuem / experience.Thankfully I went on a weekday but I can imagine how packed it is on weekends. I would assume that itd be too busy to actually enjoy it. So I definitely recommend you visiting on a week day.Vaccine card and ID required at entry.Thankfully the price of the exhibit is reasonable.Kinda hard to recommend but if you have the extra cash and time, check it out

2022-01-11Beautiful experience.. calm, peaceful, and probably also therapeutic for some! Reserve tickets ahead of time!I saw Rafik Anadols Machine Hallucinations exhibit!Vaccination card and ID required upon entry!Staff were professional and prompt!

2022-06-18Worth visiting if nearby, but dont expect to spend too long here.The entire exhibition is one room, primarily for an immersive projected 3D render of a cell living and dying. Without any commentary / notes / context, its up to the viewer to try and interpret meaning from it.
Review №6
2022-02-04Great experience. Very relaxing and peaceful. It’s different visuals playing with peaceful music. We probably stayed sitting and watching the visuals for 30 minutes. The workers are extremely nice and actually let us in earlier than our reserved time. You do have to reserve tickets beforehand.

2022-05-10TLDR: After exiting this experience, some people sitting outside asked us if they should go try this event. From the outside and the marketing, it looks like a glossy, inviting and somewhat mysterious experience. We told them to spend their money elsewhere, and I would say the same to everyone reading this review.Artechouse as a company has the start of something good going but there is a lot of work to be done before it really delivers on the intersection of art and technology like their intro video promises. Immersive artwork and artwork involving data are both two exciting emerging mediums which I believe have a lot of potential impact in the future. However, the actual experience itself leaves room for improvement.The theme of the multimedia exhibit is trust. While you are promised multiple rooms of interactive immersive data as art, in reality, there is only one large space of interest with 3 walls and floors being covered by a looping projector display of data as art. While this is a cool feat in itself, the exhibit lacked the background knowledge and context which was needed to prepare the consumer for what they were going to see. The exhibit may have been themed as trust, but it was hard to trust that the art we were seeing was not just randomly generated by a computer.I come from a math and computer science background -- so if someone tells me that I am going to see artwork produced by data, I want to understand it and how it works. At best, Artechouse glosses over the fine details of how the artwork is actually produced and what data and correlations it is using. In reality, they took financial data and also social data which contained the word trust and tried to spin that into a correlation. Not only is that a little skeptical, but once you actually see the data displayed as art, the brain wants to make connections. Humans are constantly looking for meaning in interpreting their surroundings. But with so little context as to what the data being displayed was and also when the data was from, it was impossible to gain anything meaningful.Yes it is a pretty lights display. But thats about it. The entire experience is half an hour of you sitting on a hard floor staring at a grainy display of dots pixelating around you on 3 walls. There is intense thematic music playing around you which encourages you to try to parse out something life changing from this display. The first few minutes are cool, but then you realize that there is no actual discernible story from the ill defined images cascading on the screen. It kind of felt like we were watching an old movie where the directors are trying to make it look like cool computing is going on, when in reality, nothing is happening.Overall, a huge disappointment. This could have been done in a much more powerful way that enabled the public to not only see the correlation between historical events and social sentiment, but also learn about the power of data and applications of data analytics using computer science.

2022-05-22Super cool museum that marries art and technology into a uniquely interactive exhibit. All of the art is digitally displayed and includes some augmented reality components.I attended the Life of a Neuron exhibit, when was a collaboration done with scientists in the Society for Neuroscience.The main floor exhibit is a huge digital display that envelops you in an artistic rendition of the neuron lifecycle, from birth to death, and possibly what’s beyond. It’s pretty trippy and easy to sit for maybe 30 minutes absorbing it all. Very innovative and creative.

2022-06-10Artechouse is one of the most stunning places I’ve visit in a while. I love the way they combine technology and art! Family friendly and the staff is very fun. I recommend this place to any tourists, content creators, photographers and bloggers. Go and get Instagram pics!

2022-04-06An art experience that incorporates a mixture of pictures screened and projected at the speed of light ✨️ across a room. Youll likely be entranced for about 30 minutes watching and listening to the theme of your visit.Unsure why I assumed it was multiple rooms. I honestly laughed at myself walking around looking for other rooms. Its a one room show.
