June 4 – 22, 2025

Come see what NEW INC members have been incubating—from immersive XR performances, to circular models for sustainable artmaking, to mutating robotic structures, to community-focused architecture, and far beyond.

Track Showcases are curated installations programmed thematically by NEW INC Tracks: Art & Code, Cooperative Studies, Creative Science, Extended Realities, and Social Architecture. Each installation spotlights the genre-defying projects of our Year 11 cohort.

Installations will be on view from June 4–June 22. Visitors are welcome to visit 180 Maiden Lane from Wednesday to Sunday, 12–7pm.
