Its exciting! Modern and intriguing.Due to Covid, you need a mask all the time. Some fast pace music and lights could trigger headache but it should be fine. Definitely a must visit. Hoping to visit again next year for new colors.Not adding more pictures so that you could enjoy it in person

This place is so cool! My friends and I went here the other day to see their Celestial show and it was so breathtaking! They have so much space for everyone to sit and wander around, but also able to keep a safe distance. They also ensured that everyone kept their masks on the entire time and used hand sanitizer. The theme of the show was really cool to watch and see, and they had little interactive stuff upstairs as well. We spent about a hour and a half there, and it was so worth it.

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!

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.

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 .

Always creative, vivid and entertaining visuals. Caught the #artechouse curated event; my 2nd. This one by Shohei_Fujimoto Intangible Forms . A week after the nyc event I tried to catch the D.C Artechouse. It is called BLOOM, it was sold out. Covid has spaces under capacity.

Amazing. Anyone who needs some inspiration it just a good place to relax for a while should check this out. Also a great place for a nap.

Review №12

Such a great experience, I was wondering why it was only an hour BUT an hour is all you need. Allow yourself to be fully immersed in this...take your pictures but then put all distractions away and enjoy.

Loved the 2020 exhibition. The blue theme mirrored tranquility and relaxation. The music along with the stunning display transports you to a different dimension. A must see!

My husband in the UK bought be a ticket to see the exhibit and i was not allowed to enter and see it even though it was purchased in my name because i didn’t have the original credit card used to purchase the tickets which belongs to my husband in the uk. this policy has turned me off to going to see any events at this place in the future. what a shame.

Review №15

I purchased these tickets based on what was shown as an attraction!! The fact that they charge $25 a ticket to see a holographic bar on the walk in level and you walk down a flight of steps to just sit on the floor to watch art on walls IS WACK!! they prep you with a video when nothing thats shown on the video happens inside, what you see on the website is not happening inside either! Basically it was definitely a waste of my $50, i could have brought a disco light for my house and saved time and money.... i wouldnt recommend

Review №16

This was a great experience, the laser light installation was very interesting. However, I think perhaps in other locations the light installation may be nicer. This was not as cool as I anticipated it would be.....still cool just not as cool as the other states/locations...

The art exhibit was amazing, the music and the visuals are out together perfectly to give a one of a kind experience. I would highly recommend going here.

It’s alright but not a big deal. NY & NJ residents get a discount. Probably won’t take longer than 30 mins unless you want to see the projection from start to finish.

I have been to Artechouse since they first opened in September 2019 and LOVED each installation.They rotate every 5-6 months so you might like one but not the other.As of today October 22nd:CELESTIALNew immersive digital installation in NYC inspired by Pantone, color of the year 2020 - Classic BlueArtechouse, 439 W 15th streetTickets 17-24$, free under 4, family packages availableOpening tomorrow Oct 22nd until January 3rd, every dayMask is required at all timesThe show lasts about 25 minutes, you can stay as much as you want

The “Intangible Forms” exhibit was cool. Very cool wavy use of light mixing into other lights. It made me feel part of an oceans wave.I would not comeback and I won’t recommend to others. I paid “internet” price which was $20 for myself (+ partner = $40) for one exhibit. If you’re a deep soul self searching person then maybe you can stay 30 + minutes looking at these lights and make your money’s worth. Otherwise, the one exhibit with 3 mini ones make this stop overpriced.

Beautiful and well cleaned museum. Its 30 mins and you have to memorize where you think you can end. Its dark in the room so be careful. It was an expensive ticket but fun to try out once.

Ke
Review №23

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.

I loved my experience here. From the cool art in the first floor until the gift shop. Loved how I was given a tip to record the top floor art in slow mo and saw how the lasers drew the shapes. Staff was very friendly. Space was clean. Good experience.

Ja
Review №25

Intangible Forms was amazing. The artist use of lasers made it seem like the light was bending and that the piece was a living thing. Would highly recommend. From beginning to end takes about 15-20 minutes, but its worth seeing an extra time to notice the intricacies of the light.

Review №26

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!

Went to see the Fujimoto exhibit it was so nice felt like I was watching the inside of a heart beat! Staff was really friendly and knowledgeable about the art and wanted to talk to you about it. Very interactive experience indeed!

Review №28

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.

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.

It looked like it was a huge exhibit to walk thru because of the pictures, but they only showcase one exhibit at a time. Don’t let the pictures fool you. The space is pretty small, don’t expect anything grand.

Review №42

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!

Review №43

Inspirational. Literally an amazing experience of lights. Its all about emerging yourself into the type of work the artist was trying to express with these 3 particular light shows. Seriously a must see.

Review №44

We loved it! It was really cool to see but not worth the money. Place was very cleaned and we were speedster per Covid guidelines.

Ma
Review №45

The red lasers are beautiful, but spending money to see basically one installation isn’t worth it. Also, they show a video when you first walk in that I thought was very misleading. There is nothing interactive/immersive about the laser art.

Je
Review №46

I have this a one star experience not because of the technological art but the guards or who ever are the people making sure you have your mask on. Not even on an airplane do people get so close to you to tell you to put your mask on and constantly watch you. I felt super annoyed the whole time and very bothered. DONT GO not worth it. Keep in mind this is a one room exhibit and the patterns are repetitive.

La
Review №47

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!

Review №49

Such a disappointment after the one in Miami. Yes the idea is cool, but this artist is way to niche-y, so unless you are mesmerized by straight lines and a music that needs you to be high for...well...I loved the one in Miami, this was a waste of money....

Highly overrated. The idea is great, butThere are columns that blocks the view and ruins the full immersionThere are too many instagrammers posing everywhere and blocking the viewThere is an exit sign and door right at the front panelNot worth the money.

Review №52

Worst place ever to go. All the positive reviews are fake and misleading. Stuffs are rude AF! It has only one room with laser lighting which never worth $25 to see. Don’t go and save that $25 for something else.

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.

Ma
Review №54

Would have been nice to know ahead of time that the NYC location ONLY has one room. It appears to be false advertising based on their Instagram. Tagging #NYC on images of exhibits they do NOT have at this location was very misleading. Unless you are going for the one red laser room, Id recommend saving your money.

Knowledgeable staff and fascinating modern exhibits. Safe and sanitary during covid!

Review №58

Be prepared to only really see one main piece and no real explanations of the “science” and “technology” they hail at Artechouse. It would be cool if they could expand and provide more of a learning aspect to the exhibit so it feels less like walking into a room with cool lights and then leaving.

Review №60

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.

Review №61

False advertisement compared to the pics I saw on the internet.... not worth $25 to only look at red lasers smh

Review №63

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!

The place wasnt what we expected. The non alcoholic bar had some nice drinks even though the waiter could use some improvement in his demeanor. The front desk staff on the entrance and exit were very friendly and helpful. It was overall pretty relaxing. Even though the site says entrance times were booked we just showed up and were able to go in at a reasonable time. I personally think if the entrance price was lowered itd be more worth it.

Review №68

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.

Review №71

Amazing space filled with cinematography & AI that displays moving images set to music, across 3 walls & floor. Psychedelic! On a continuous loop, you can sit, stand, lay amongst the images & let them and the music wash over you ...Why not try a Mocktail or two at the bar & enjoy the other features too? Other displays show New York City from birth to present day.

Save your money on this one - only one room and one exhibit, takes about 5 minutes to look at. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool light show, but not very entertaining or immersive considering it’s just one thing to look at...

Review №78

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.

Review №79

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.

Review №80

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.

It was cool but for some reason it was so hot where we were getting the drinks at the bar it felt like it was 80 degrees at one point! Visuals are dope definitely had my g pen with me made the experience extra fun since the drinks had no alcohol in them!! Everything was good would definitely go here again but at a earlier time.

Review №85

Interesting and unique to be immersed in a color and kinetic experience of CLASSIC BLUE - the Pantone color of the year 2020.. . Admission is pricey however and so consider who might be open to this type of experience. Definitely a mind expanding moment in terms of art experiences. Just about any age can enjoy this moment but one has to approach it with a open and meditative mind

Review №86

This is specific to Machine Hallucinations. Ive not experienced any other installation here.Dont believe everything you see on the web. We walked in without tickets (sold out online), but we were able to get tickets for immediate entry.The visuals are truly mind blowing, with a mostly mesmerizing soundtrack. It was fabulous to watch the metamorphosis of NYC images into a fully abstract, impressionist digital cascade.The film loop is only about 25 minutes long, but its worth at least a couple of loops to get the details.The mocktails are mildly interesting, as are the AR effects you get from scanning the coasters. But theyre really not worth $8 a piece. Chuck some vodka in there and well talk.Overall the experience was great, with only a little doubt about the bang for ones buck. When youre sitting awash in swirling, psychedelic visuals with state of the art sounds and video, you forget everything else and just soak up the wonder. Highly recommended.

Review №87

The workers here are BEYOOOOOOND rude. I was just standing there, admiring the gorgeous lights and got pushed by a worker. She told me not to sit around, It was immensely upsetting. After paying 25 dollars to stare at red beams of light, you would think the workers would be a little more considerate. Also, put the old installation back and maybe Ill come again. You literally have 100 bad reviews about the red lights. Why are they still there?

An
Review №88

Not worth the $30!! I bought the tickets because of the amazing pictures google showed, but once we got there the “show” was only red lights in the middle of the room, that’s it! nothing like the pictures shown here, so don’t expect to see any lights on the wall or floor and different shapes or visual art. So disappointed

Di
Review №89

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.

Review №91

Had a great time here with my family. Customer service was really timely and helpful. When I first stepped into the exhibition I didn’t think much of it, and thought there was not much to see. But we found a good corner to sit down and observe. Then it became really cool when the themes and sounds changed, and we became really mesmerized and ended up staying for quite a while, just lounging and enjoying.It’s not an exhibition where you walk around. Once I calmed down and immersed myself it became an amazing experience.

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

Review №94

This has to be one of the most overpriced experiences in NYC. It’s $25 dollars for each adult and there’s essentially one exhibit in one room. The exhibit we went to was a laser art installation on a 30 minute loop with music and a smoke machine. Most people don’t last longer than 10 minutes watching this. I’d be happy to pay $25 per person for a unique experience but this just was so underwhelming. Save your money and go somewhere else

Review №98

Completely void of human connection and a major contradiction to the 3 minute long intro mission statement. Just another social clout/Instagram factory that is best described as forgettable. Worst application of AR technology Ive seen in a while and $8 for non alcoholic drinks is a crime within itself.

Mi
Review №99

Place is really cool, if you’re gonna go give yourself at least an hour. Especially since it’s so expensive to go in. Unless part of the admission goes to the artists then I guess that’s better but it’s still pretty high. I just think if you lower the price more people will come frequently! Something to think about. Also give your employees chairs! At least at the admission desk. You may think it promotes productivity but it just makes us feel sorry for them! Anyway, cool place.
