Onassis ONX

Since 2020, members of Onassis ONX have showcased their work at major festivals worldwide, including SXSW, Sundance, Ars Electronica, Cannes, Performa, IDFA, and the Venice International Film Festival.

Digital art and technology from New York to Athens. After six years of partnership with our New York studio, Onassis ONX in Athens, operates at the Onassis Ready building. ONX aims to establish itself as a destination where one can encounter what is to come as well as what is already here. A dynamic, open space for gathering and experimentation for artists, makers, technologists, creative entrepreneurs, researchers, and collectives working at the intersection of art and innovation.

Your journey into the art of tomorrow begins in the heart of Athens and reaches all the way to New York. Onassis ONX presents works from the ONX Seeds and Onassis AiR Fellows in a showcase at the Onassis Ready building. Through various modes of storytelling and immersive experiences, the exhibition focuses on themes of identity, desire, interaction, and transformation.

In March 2027, Onassis Ready hosts the second ONX Exhibition, a celebration of creativity, technological innovation, and new forms of artistic expression. The ONX Exhibition presents a four-day program of selected works and events from ONX’s residency, acceleration, and artist development initiatives in Athens and New York. Through the Onassis AiR residency, the ONX Seeds program, the ONX Futures skill-building initiative (which focuses on artificial intelligence and audiovisual production), and the creative community in New York, Onassis Ready becomes a space for vibrant dialogue between artistic practice and technological research.

Can a story change the world around us? ONX Seeds is a six-month artistic development program focused on the creation of early-stage works (Proof of Concept) at the intersection of art and technology.

Emerging creators, recent graduates, teams, and artistic communities will experiment with concepts of innovation and worldbuilding. By constructing imagined worlds, participants move beyond material objects to craft immersive experiences that extend around and beyond them.

A new artistic season. New opportunities for the international creative community. The Onassis Foundation’s global platform for art and advanced technologies, Onassis ONX, moves even closer to its vision of progressive creation through programs and initiatives across America, Europe, and Asia.

As a dynamic platform shaping art and advanced technologies, Onassis ONX collaborates with a global network of artists and partners to produce, present, and distribute pioneering works. For season 2026-27 Onassis ONX will return to the third edition of TECHNE and participate to Under the Radar Festival with "hardcore echoes" by Ioanna Paraskevopoulou and "BLUR", the groundbreaking mixed-reality theatrical experience written and directed by Craig Quintero and Phoebe Greenberg at Lincoln Center.

An outward field-building platform

Onassis ONX actively participates in the global new media art landscape by forming solid institutional partnerships, collaborating with industry leaders, and engaging in production and distribution networks worldwide. Onassis ONX partners with organizations such as NEW INC, Rhizome, Pioneer Works, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and Games 4 Change in New York and with IDFA, CPH:DOX, DiMoDA, and PHI Centre globally.

Extending the future

Onassis ONX, previously known as ONX Studio, began as an artistic accelerator and hybrid production/exhibition space in Midtown Manhattan, jointly founded in 2020 by the Onassis Foundation and New Museum’s NEW INC. Today, it has evolved into a comprehensive global new media art program supporting creators through all the stages of their work, from development to distribution, standing out in the international artistic ecosystem as a prominent hub. With physical locations in Athens (artistic incubator) and New York (artistic accelerator), Onassis ONX bridges these two dynamic cities and fosters and expands local and international new media art scenes.

West to East, South to North

Onassis ONX fellows can be found from New York to Athens, from Los Angeles to Austin, Louisville, and Pittsburgh, and from London to Istanbul and Lisbon. They have developed and presented works around the world by participating in renowned festivals and exhibitions, including South by Southwest, Venice International Film Festival, Ars Electronica Festival, Plásmata exhibitions in Athens and Ioannina, Tribeca Festival, Mutek, and BAM’s Next Wave Festival.
