Radiohead’s “Motion Picture House featuring KID A MNESIA” opened in Brooklyn on May 15, according to Time Out New York and the project’s official website. The installation is running at the Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard through June 28, the official site said. The event expands the band’s earlier “KID A MNESIA” project into a physical exhibition with a 75-minute film, gallery spaces and a soundtrack remixed from the “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” multitracks. ### Where exactly is the pop-up, and how long is it in Brooklyn? The Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is the Brooklyn venue for the run that began on May 6 and continues through June 28, according to the official “Motion Picture House” site. Time Out New York reported on May 15 that the installation had officially opened there. Brooklyn is the first stop on a multi-city schedule that also lists 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, the official site said.

Each visit is sold as a two-hour slot, and the official site says that includes a 75-minute film plus additional time to move through the gallery spaces. (kida-mnesia.com) The soundtrack uses a new mix drawn from the “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” multitracks and is rendered in six-point surround sound, according to the project FAQ. Time Out New York said the installation includes large-scale artwork by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood, projected visuals, distorted architecture and surrounding installations tied to the visual world of the two albums. (kida-mnesia.com) The publication said the physical show builds on the virtual “KID A MNESIA” exhibition first released through Epic Games in 2021. ### Is this a concert, and will Radiohead perform? The official site says no live Radiohead performance is part of the event. The FAQ states plainly: “Will Radiohead be performing? No.” The project is instead described by the band’s site as “a large-scale audiovisual installation and art gallery” built to house “KID A MNESIA.” Time Out New York said the experience first appeared at Coachella earlier this spring before moving to Brooklyn for what it called the longest North American run.

(kida-mnesia.com) The official site says all tickets must be purchased in advance and that only a limited number are available per screening. Brooklyn tickets are listed at $72.43 before local tax on the official site. (kida-mnesia.com) Time Out New York also reported that the event is using Fair AXS ticketing and said students with a valid .edu email address can receive a 30% discount. ### Why is this tied so closely to “Kid A” and “Amnesiac”? Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood created the artwork during the “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” recording sessions, according to the official site. (axs.com) The film and galleries were built from that material, and the music was remixed to fit the architecture of the installation, the site said. Time Out New York said the Brooklyn installation draws directly from the aesthetic world of those albums and turns that material into a walk-through environment rather than a standard screening. (kida-mnesia.com) The publication described the result as an immersive maze spread across part of the Navy Yard waterfront. ### What happens next for anyone planning to go this week? (kida-mnesia.com) Friday, May 22, through Sunday, May 24, are among the dates currently listed on AXS for the Brooklyn run. Screening times vary by day, and the official site says they appear during checkout when tickets are selected. The Brooklyn engagement continues until June 28 before the installation moves to Chicago on July 30, according to the official schedule.
