A massive new experimental art-and-tech studio is opening in Tribeca in January

"A big dose of digital magic is on its way to Tribeca. Onassis ONX-the Onassis Foundation's lab serving artists working in XR, AI and immersive performance-is packing up its midtown digs and heading downtown, where it will double in size with a 6,000-square-foot studio at Broadway and Walker Street. The new space will open to the public in January, marking a big move for an organization that's fast become a power player in the city's experimental art scene."

"If you've spent the last few years wondering where the city's most future-forward creators have been building their worlds, the answer has typically been ONX. Since its launch in 2020, the program and its more than 80 members have collaborated with Lincoln Center, Pioneer Works, NEW INC, the MIT Open Documentary Lab and a who's-who of festivals, including Sundance, SXSW and the Venice Biennale."

"While the artists have been making boundary-blurring work everywhere, their studio has always been a snug space in midtown-until now. The Tribeca site is built for scale, featuring a motion-capture stage double the size of the old one, a three-wall seamless projection room intended for museum-grade installations and an expanded sound studio. The fourth-floor perch, which now neighbors with galleries like PPOW and Matthew Brown, also includes a beefed-up server infrastructure, natch."

Onassis ONX will relocate to a 6,000-square-foot studio in Tribeca at Broadway and Walker Street, opening to the public in January. The space doubles the program's footprint and includes a motion-capture stage twice the previous size, a three-wall seamless projection room for museum-grade installations, an expanded sound studio, and upgraded server infrastructure. Since launching in 2020, the program and its more than 80 members collaborated with Lincoln Center, Pioneer Works, NEW INC, the MIT Open Documentary Lab, and festivals including Sundance, SXSW and the Venice Biennale. The inaugural exhibition, TECHNE: Homecoming, runs January 8–18, 2026, featuring six artists and phygital installations.
