The ocean's twilight zone is a dim, bioluminescent layer where strange creatures migrate toward the surface every night, and ARTECHOUSE turns it into a room-filling light-and-sound show. Built with scientists from Woods Hole, it blends real research with digital art and an original score. If you want the most photogenic new exhibition opening in Chelsea, this is it.
What to expect
Expect a darkened, projection-wrapped gallery where glowing creatures drift around and beneath you, set to an original score. The space rewards slowing down rather than rushing through, and the science behind each scene comes from Woods Hole researchers. It opens this weekend and runs into November, so opening-weekend crowds will thin later.
