The 2024 Games For Change Festival is running from June 26th to June 30th, and will be hosting the G4C Immersive Arcade at Onassis ONX, featuring 6 unique projects on display during the festival to ticket holders: Groove Catcher by Vizmoo, I Will Defy You Until My Dying Breath, Doors We Open, Current, The Loon, and Normandie: A Documentary Video Game. The arcade will be running from 12-6 each day during the festival, with Current available off site at Zucotti Park from 5:30-8PM.

The Summer Showcase brings together a selection of recent XR projects created by artists in the Onassis ONX membership. Using a diversity of narrative and aesthetic tactics, the works on display illuminate stories of migration, marginalization, and transfiguration. The XR field is grounded here in physical space by mixed-media assemblage and sculpture. In some cases, tactile installations point to a third space of ritual. In others, physical-digital dynamics frame statements on history and identity. In all of the works on view, fantasy plays a key role in bridging the gap between what is and what could be.

NEW INC and Onassis ONX are pleased to present Particles and Digital Serfs: A Two-Person Exhibition featuring Itziar Barrio and Janet Biggs, curated by Jane Ursula Harris. The exhibition opens on Thursday, March 21st with a reception from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. A new collaborative performance between Barrio and Biggs will be presented on Saturday, March 23rd from 6-8pm, performance starting at 6:30pm, followed by a reception. The performance is made possible with additional support from Hyphen Hub. The exhibition ends on Sunday, March 24th.

NEW INC and EY Metaverse Lab proudly present two multimedia installations at Onassis ONX, developed during the collaboration’s artists-in-residence program. The initiative brings together artists and technologists to explore challenges and issues affecting humanity today. This year’s program features artists Laura Splan and Eva Daidova. Splan is developing Metafrictions, a work that examines new epistemologies emerging alongside notions of the metaverse and the cognitive impact immersive digital worlds may have on top of embodied experiences. Daidova will present Audience as Virus, a performance dependent on audience participation as it examines the current limitations of AI’s predictive abilities. Both artists’ works raise awareness of technology’s growing homogeneity—its effects on humanity and creative attempts to break free.

We are pleased to announce the inaugural Winter Exhibition, All Will be Considered. Drawing from the vast talents of the Onassis ONX membership, the exhibition comprises new media works on themes including science fiction, identity/otherness, nonhuman subjectivities, and Anthropocene ecologies.

REVERSE TAR PIT is a group exhibition that launches alongside 103 internet art exhibitions as part of The Wrong Biennale, five of which are hosted at New Art City.
