Life of a Neuron
Step into the human brain and discover what makes us unique at the cellular level.
This boundary-pushing, immersive exhibition by ARTECHOUSE Studio, in collaboration with Society for Neuroscience (SfN), examines the far-reaching potential at the intersection of art and science. The exhibition invites visitors to witness the beauty of one of science’s greatest mysteries — the human brain — as they immerse and follow the life of a neuron from pre-birth to death. Visitors will walk into an unprecedented, real-life 3D model of a human prefrontal cortex neuron — the “thinking cell” of the brain. In addition to the Immersion Gallery installation, you can explore other technology-driven interactive artworks that cover vision, stress, addiction, and neural connectivity all at the cellular level. Life of a Neuron presents an opportunity to experience human neural data visualizations in a visceral way through the latest creative technologies that innovatively tell the story of human experience!

About ARTECHOUSE NYC
It’s dark. It’s deep. It’s alive. And it’s weird. Twilight Zone: Hidden Wonders of the Ocean invites visitors to descend beneath the ocean’s surface and explore one of Earth’s largest and least-understood habitats. Created by ARTECHOUSE Studio in collaboration with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the exhibition transforms groundbreaking ocean research into a visually stunning experience blending digital art, interactive technology and an original musical score. At its center is a 24-minute immersive cinematic journey inspired by diel vertical migration—the largest daily animal migration on Earth. Seven interactive installations and six extended-reality activations further explore bioluminescent creatures, environmental DNA, sonar technology, ocean robotics and the twilight zone’s vital role in marine ecosystems and climate regulation. The exhibition opens September 19 at ARTECHOUSE NYC, located inside Chelsea Market, and runs through November 16, 2026.
