Radiohead Fan Experience Pop-Up in Brooklyn

Radiohead’s “Motion Picture House featuring KID A MNESIA” is running in Brooklyn through June 28 at the Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, according to the project’s official site. The installation combines a 75-minute film, gallery spaces and a new spatial-audio mix built from the multitracks of *Kid A* and *Amnesiac*, the band’s 2000 and 2001 albums. Time Out listed the event among New York’s things to do for the week of May 18-24 after a May 15 report said the experience had opened in the Navy Yard. The Brooklyn presentation is part of a wider tour that follows a debut at Coachella earlier this spring. The official site lists later stops in Chicago from July 30 to Aug. 23, Mexico City from Oct. 27 to Nov. 15 and San Francisco from Jan. 14 to Feb. 7, 2027. ### Where exactly is the Radiohead installation in Brooklyn? The Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is the Brooklyn venue named on the official KID A MNESIA site. (kida-mnesia.com) Time Out’s May 15 report said the installation had taken over part of the industrial waterfront there for its New York run. Brooklyn Navy Yard visitors are told on the official FAQ to allow extra walking time from the Sands Street entrance gate to the venue. (kida-mnesia.com) That detail matters because the event uses timed entry and asks guests to arrive promptly for the slot on their ticket. ### What do visitors actually get during a timed entry slot? Each visit is booked in a two-hour slot, the official site says. That includes a 75-minute film and additional time to move through gallery spaces at a self-directed pace. (kida-mnesia.com) The official FAQ says the film was built from art created by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood during the *Kid A* and *Amnesiac* recording sessions. The soundtrack uses an entirely new mix from those albums’ multitracks, rendered in 6-point surround sound and composed for the theater’s architecture, according to the site. (kida-mnesia.com) Artnet reported on May 11 that the Brooklyn installation includes glitching television sets, posters, sculptures and large-format prints before culminating in the film. (kida-mnesia.com) Artnet also reported that the theater rises 25 feet and uses four giant tilted screens, with visitors free to sit or lie around the screening room. ### Is this a concert, an exhibition, or something else? (kida-mnesia.com) “No,” the official FAQ says in response to whether Radiohead will be performing. The event is presented instead as “a large-scale audiovisual installation and art gallery, purpose built to showcase KID A MNESIA.” Time Out reported that the physical installation expands on the virtual *KID A MNESIA* exhibition released through Epic Games in 2021. Its May 15 report said the Brooklyn version includes large-scale artwork by Yorke and Donwood along with the immersive film and custom surround-sound system.

The FAQ says all tickets must be purchased in advance and that only a limited number are available for each screening. Merchandise is available to ticket holders at the venue and through Radiohead’s W.A.S.T.E. store, according to the FAQ. Time Out also reported that the Brooklyn run uses timed ticketing and that organizers were using Fair AXS ticketing. (timeout.com) ### Why is this showing up on New York event lists this week? Time Out’s weekly New York guide for May 18-24 included “a Radiohead fan experience in Brooklyn” among the city’s featured events. (kida-mnesia.com) That weekly listing points readers to the broader event round-up, while the dedicated May 15 article gives the fuller details on the Navy Yard installation. May 20 is mid-run rather than opening week. (kida-mnesia.com) The Brooklyn dates began on May 6 and continue until June 28, according to the official site, which also carries the ticketing and screening information for the remaining sessions.
