The article discusses the expansion of Onassis ONX, a digital art laboratory and exhibition space founded by the Onassis Foundation in Athens, Greece. The new location will be in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, which doubles the studio's square footage and puts it at the center of downtown New York's dynamic contemporary scene.
The article highlights the foundation's commitment to supporting artists working at the intersection of art and technology. Onassis ONX aims to expand our understanding of these mediums not only as tools but as frameworks for examining how we live today.
The new location will balance studio production with public programming, hosting two in-studio exhibitions each year, along with quarterly public programs developed in collaboration with organizations such as NEW INC, Pioneer Works, Rhizome, and Lincoln Center. The foundation also plans to continue its major annual off-site exhibition each June, following last year's presentation at Tribeca Immersive.
Onassis ONX will present two performances as part of the Under the Radar Festival this year, including "We Have No Need of Other Worlds (We Need Mirrors)" by Graham Sack and "¡Harken!" by Modesto Flako Jimenez. The festival also includes a mainstage production commissioned and produced by Onassis Stegi.
The article concludes that Onassis ONX is committed to supporting artists working at the frontiers of art and technology, where traditional genres continue to dissolve, and we increasingly see how art and life intersect in our daily lives.

They're pushing boundaries with tech and art, it's so cool! I remember when they had that whole VR thing at the Tribeca Immersive last year, it was mind blown 
The expansion of Onassis ONX into Midtown Manhattan is a huge deal for NYC's contemporary scene! It's awesome that they're doubling their space and bringing more artists and tech enthusiasts together 
. I love how the foundation wants to blur those lines between art and life, making us think about how we interact with the world around us every day 
.
. The collaboration with other orgs is also super cool, I'm sure those quarterly public programs will bring some awesome events to the table 
. Can't wait to check out their exhibitions and performances, it's gonna be lit! 
.
been following them for ages and its dope that they're expanding to nyc they're all about pushing boundaries with tech and art which is something we need more of in the world anyway, having it in midtown manhattan is gonna bring so much energy to the scene can't wait to see what kind of crazy projects they'll be working on 
I mean, what's next? Them finding some underground lair to convert into their own secret art gallery? Give me a break. They're just trying to buy influence and curry favor with the NYC elite... Meanwhile, we're supposed to be all like "oh, isn't it great that they're supporting artists and pushing the boundaries of tech and art?" 
Nope, I'm onto you, Onassis Foundation! 
. think they'll struggle to find the right vibe in the city that never sleeps 
. plus, new york's got its own art scene, and i'm not sure if onassis onx will fit in seamlessly. still, i guess it's dope that they're pushing boundaries with tech & art 
.
. The fact that they're supporting artists who are pushing boundaries is really inspiring - maybe one day we'll see some art that tackles issues like screen time addiction or social media 
... what about the ones who aren't part of their "circle"? And don't even get me started on how much money it's going to cost for those two in-studio exhibitions each year 
... can't they just have some actual community engagement or something?
64% of art enthusiasts are aged 25-44 btw 
new location means more opportunities 4 artists & audiences alike 
just read about Onassis ONX expanding to Midtown Manhattan and i gotta say it's super exciting for the art scene there!
