    This 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.

    ID & 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 valentine's 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

    1 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 it'd 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

    It's not much. It's a single room with projection mapping and audio. I think this would be a great place for house/ techno events, but as an experience alone was not worth the money. The drinks however we're good and very reasonably priced.

    Loved every bit of it! Worth the money (you get $5 off if you're from NY). This great place makes your imagination fly amd leaves you with stunning pictures and memories. Their exposition themes change every few months. Recommended!

    Fantastic experience. Highly recommend to everyone. Really truly beautiful and also trippy at the same time. Pretty unique and fun for all ages. Some interactive exhibits also. And changes seasonally. There's also some snacks and drinks but super duper expensive. Great for photos! It's pretty self explanatory if any recommendations is it's expensive.

    An interesting experience for sure, and as the other reviews say, a short one. I don’t think it’s worth the 30 dollar ticket price but i don’t regret going in and soaking in the views so take that how you will. We spent about 30 minutes in here after an eventful weekend and day of walking around nyc so it was quite relaxing to be honest. We spent a bit of time making friends and just hanging out. There’s a bar upstairs that has slightly overpriced drinks but it’s not a bad idea to be drunk while watching the show. Drinks were okay. All in all not a bad quick stop if you don’t mind spending the money. The concept is actually quite interesting and the visuals are great. Buy your tickets online for the specific time slot or you’ll have waited in line for nothing on busy days!

    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.

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

  • 3/5 Danessa D. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

    If you are a fan of science, art, and technology all coming together then this is the place for you! I had a great time here, walking and sitting around and looking at the various displays of AI imagery. There's no set time for you to leave, it's come-in and leave whenever your heart desires. There were lots of people laying on the floor and just relaxing, which is always nice to see in NYC. NOTE: Buy your tickets in advance and show up a bit before your scheduled time to have a rolling start with the other people in your timeslot.

  • 4/5 Shaswat N. 3 months ago on Google • 123 reviews New
    Went on Friday evening around 7pm and wait was around 10 minutes. Lady at the desk was friendly and welcoming. 2.5 minutes of introductory video before they let you in. The video is all about how they started and where are theirs other locations etc. These arts are claimed to be “AI.magination “ where art , tech and AI is amalgamated to give surreal experience. I had a completely new surreal experience at first place but after half an hour felt too much color and left probably before an hour. It’s great place to visit and for insta shots !

  • 2/5 J C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was cool, but a bit over hyped and overpriced. It is basically just one room with a bunch of projectors. You watch 3d designs and it feels like you're in it which is cool, but that's about it. They try and add a few gimmicks but they are just gimmicks. The main room with the projectors is pretty immersive, but that's about it. It loops after about 20 minutes. You can stay and enjoy the vibe but there isn't much to it.

    Great 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.

    An experience like no other. Lots of people giving bad reviews. Saying things like a loop etc. Sure it's on a loop. However, don't let that ruin it for you. The pricing was right. Immersive and a whole new experience of digital art that I haven't quite seen before. I had the Christmas theme and took my daughter. She freaking loved it (she 8). The soundtrack coincides well with the presentation. Truly peaceful and tranquil.

    This was a really fun place. We went on the sightseeing pass. The employees were very sweet and helpful. You can get a drink inside as well, and then enjoy the amazing art. Nice large area, but from the videos and pictures I thought there would be more than just the main attraction and one side room. It was still fun and entertaining.

  • 5/5 MITEIGI0101 2 years ago on Google
    Went there with the family and we had an amazing experience. The main installation Geometric Properties was breathtaking and innovative. I still can't believe it's 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. Can't wait for their next exhibition!

    I certainly didn’t hate it. We were actually going to go somewhere else but that place was closed so we walked down Chelsea Market and popped in here for some amusement. Such a cool concept and a great place to just sit and unwind or let the stress of life melt away. It has a meditative vibe. The music and the visual immersion is wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly too plus there is a bar! If you live nearby, I would suggest getting a membership so that you could just come here to unwind after a workday but for a one time stop, it was nice.

    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.

    Very underwhelming. Apart from the main room with the 360 surround visuals, there were a handful of motion activated installations (which didn't work very well) and some AR features you have to download their app to use. You need at most 10 minutes to see everything, it's a very small space. While the art was pretty and cool, it's not entertaining nor informative. Seems like the main attraction is the bar with space themed cocktails for $17 per glass.

  • 2/5 Uche O. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s really cool but only for like the first 12 minutes. There’s literally only 2 rooms with art, the big room downstairs and the small room upstairs which is hot as a sauna for some reason. Not worth the money in my opinion. It’s a good place to go if you’re waiting on someone in the market. Bar drinks are over priced in tiny glasses. It’s just not as good as pictures or social media make it seem.

    LOVE THIS PLACE!!! seen some bits of it online and I knew I had to come here and this place didn't let me down! Went to see the "life of a neuron" exhibit recently and it was extremely beautiful and fascinating! I do wish there was a narrator telling the audience what was happen though. I also wish it was even bigger, but it's in a tight space in Chelsea market so that's unlikely!!! Also there should be some kind of disclaimer for epileptic people because it seems like it could effect them. DEFINITELY WE BE COMING BACK HERE OFFTEN!!! 😍😍😍

    Super 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.

    Hands down worth every single cent. Highly recommend buying a ticket prior to showing up. You may not get in, though they do say you can do walk up. Worth it. Next to Chelsea Market.

    Worth visiting if nearby, but don't 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, it's up to the viewer to try and interpret meaning from it.

    I’ve been to this twice with my partner. Each time has been such a lovely experience. It’s peaceful almost yet immersive. It’s trippy, and a beautiful experience to have. If you want something interesting and cute to do, this is it! Each time we’ve gone the installation has been different, so you’ll have something new to embrace. Give this a try!

    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.

  • 2/5 Katy M. 1 year ago on Google
    TLDR: 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.

    Wow!! Words nor photos do not express how cool and unique this experience was. The digital art instillation does change so check their website for current and upcoming shows. Tickets were very reasonable and we purchased them at the door. If you know you want to check this out buy online to reserve your spot. I can’t wait to come see the current show.

    Really fun activity for a date or with a friend. I’ve been twice (they have schedule of new “exhibits”) and enjoyed it both times. Good for about an hour - a little more if you get a drink at the bar. We got lunch before at Fig and Olive then headed to Bowlero at Chelsea Piers after and it was a fun Saturday play day.

  • 5/5 Kiefer D. 3 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    Coming into the AI digital art installation with no expectation, I was very impressed. The entire experience was memorizing and captivating as the art takes you through a digital adventure. The entire installation takes about 18 minutes to run through for the one I saw, but each time you watch it you notice something different. I believe I spent at least 2-3 hours just observing the installation from different areas and angles. There are other areas of the venue that have other memorizing AI art to view and enjoy as well. I would highly recommend this place for individuals or groups. It's a great place to sit, relax, take pictures, and enjoy art.

    The bartender bash was amazing. Home warming and skillful, can’t tell how much fun me and my wife had. Will be coming back more often for the amazing drinks he made us.

  • 5/5 A K. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful, breathtaking…. Great experience! I loved it. Yes it is only one large room where all the magic happens. it was an amazing experience🤩 it feels like you are there, floating in space, going into all those dimensions 😵‍💫 Make sure you get the place with nobody in front of you for the best experience.

  • 4/5 Paula M. 2 years ago on Google
    An art experience that incorporates a mixture of pictures screened and projected at the speed of light ✨️ across a room. You'll 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. It's a one room show.

  • 5/5 Jeslin V. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 4/5 Christian B. 3 months ago on Google New
    First time experiencing AI art like this. Love the fact that your senses get carried away with the visuals inducing a floating sensation. Above all, great experience although a steep price point of $30 pp.

  • 5/5 Orion R. 4 months ago on Google
    Stopped here for a quick visit. And was surprised by the hospitality and kindness of all the employees. Especially the bartenders Mansa and Bash. They were very professional, friendly, and informative. They made eloquent cocktails with precision and grace. Great people. The visuals and overall experience of the exhibit was interesting and immersive. Overall amazing experience for everyone. I had a great time!

  • 4/5 H B. 6 months ago on Google
    We loved the digital art room where we immersed ourselves in the beautiful display. The music was tasteful and it wasn't too crowded. However, the experience was quite short and there is only one room as opposed to multiple ones, which would have made this experience ten times better. All in all, it's a great place to visit for a short period, but you can't spend more than an hour in it.

  • 4/5 H A. 4 months ago on Google
    The highlight was the massive room that displayed the digital art. It was very relaxing and you could stay there for a long period of time. The other rooms that had small activities wasn't as appealing.

  • 5/5 Dippan P. 2 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Khaleel W. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time here. It was a great experience. It was a small venue but it was cool seeing everything. You can just sit there and get lost in everything. If you have the app there was a gift system, you walk around the facility and scan these gifts to see something cool.

  • 5/5 Yohelis F. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

    I took my bf here on 1/6/24 for his Birthday 🎉 🎂. It was a surprise and he absolutely loved it!!!! I did as well 😊. You receive a small intro and tour right before you go into the exhibit, which is nice! The exhibit is really exquisite! It gave us Alice In Wonderland🍄💫!! It gave us Willy Wonka 🍭🍬🍫!!! It Gave us Jingle Jangle🎆(great Netflix movie🍿📽️). It gave us magical 🪄✨🌟. It made us think outside the box and explore where your mind can take you❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🩷🩵🩶. This place would be a great place to go when you just need a chill out of this world type of vibe🔮!!! It's family and kid friendly! Definitely would be a great date idea as well! If you're having a bad day or a tough time🎭, this is the place to go and pretty much ease, rest and reset your mind or just space out🧘🏾‍♀️. Each exhibit makes you feel like the possibilities are limitless!!! Everything is so beautiful and vividly colorful!!! The staff is also great, welcoming and friendly and very helpful!!! Except for one girl who I asked a question about where to obtain these cute cards they give you and you scan the QR code and really fun and cool things pop out from the cards on your phone and she literally told me she didn't know what I was talking about 🫠🥴. I looked at her like why are you working here 😮‍💨. Definitely make sure to get a drink or two at the bar!!! This place does not have food so make sure to eat before or after the exhibit( no worries the exit from the exhibit leads right into Chelsea Market). Mine was absolutely heavenly delicious and refreshing 🤤🫗. It was a mocktail since I'm pregnant. My bf really enjoyed his drink as well🥂. Kudos to the bartender, he was awesome and chill to talk to and made excelIent drinks. I will be coming back with friends before the exhibit ends in March!!! I definitely recommend it!
