Artechouse, Washington DC

Artechouse is a trendy new art gallery that focuses on immersive digital art experiences. Based on the hype, we were expecting a bigger place with many exhibits, but this is a smaller gallery. They have one main exhibit room, and then two or three smaller elements. One of the smaller rooms is a virtual reality headset. It was cool to be sitting in a room with others, everyone in a different headset, and each person in a world that someone else created. We also enjoyed the small exhibit where the visitor could move their hands in front of a projected piece of art and manipulate the picture.

The main room was large, and was filled with beanbag chairs. As we filed in, everyone sat in a chair and watched as the artist’s visions of these different worlds projected on all of the walls surrounding us. Overall, this was a cool experience, but be aware that the whole exhibit can be seen easily in about 45 minutes, and that there is no street parking. There is a pay lot nearby, so make sure that you factor the cost of the parking and the cost of the exhibit into your budget. All in all, it provided a unique experience that even young children could be entertained by for about an hour.
