The Onassis Foundation, established by Aristotle Onassis in 1975 to support innovations across science and culture, has taken a 6000-square-foot floor at 390 Broadway between White and Walker for Onassis ONX, its platform for art and technology. PPOW and Matthew Brown Gallery are also in the building.

The studio is moving from Midtown and doubling its space as it celebrates its fifth anniversary.

The organization provides artists and teams with “capacity-building programs, incubation and applied research initiatives, acceleration services, seed funding, exhibition opportunities, fellowships, and partnership-driven collaborations through its hubs in Athens and New York City.” The focus is on “emergent time-based media”: AI, immersive, spatial computing, gaming.

The space will open to the public in January with “TECHNE: Homecoming,” an exhibition of multimedia installations “exploring how identity and kinship are shaped through biological, mythological, and digital bonds.” The show is part of Under the Radar Festival for experimental theater, which this year includes two Onassis ONX performances and one mainstage production commissioned and produced by Onassis Stegi.

The studio will occupy the fourth floor with:
● a motion-capture stage;
● a three-wall seamless projection room designed to stage museum-scale installations;
● an expanded sound studio with a high-fidelity system for immersive sonic environments;
● and enhanced computational infrastructure, including a new server array to support AI and generative media.
