This is a rare chance to explore a legendary group's music and imagery well beyond the usual confines of an album, and more on your own terms. Radiohead and Epic Games Publishing are proud to present KID A MNESIA EXHIBITION: an upside-down digital/analog universe created from original artwork by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood and sound design by Nigel Godrich to commemorate 21 years of Radioheads Kid A and Amnesiac albums. At the same time, it might be worthwhile even if you're only casually familiar with Radiohead's tunes. This is clearly a plug for the Kid A Mnesia album that includes both albums and a string of previously unreleased material. Radiohead, Godrich and Donwood teamed with Namethemachine, Arbitrarily Good Productions, artist Sean Evans and theater set designer Christine Jones to create the exhibition. The exhibit was originally meant to be physical, but a combination of "laws of zoning and physics and COVID-19" (according to Epic) pushed it to the digital realm. As you can see from the trailer, the finished project is just what you'd expect - it's a trippy 3D art gallery that blends Radiohead's music from Kid A and Amnesiac (including new sound design from Nigel Godrich) with the unsettling artwork of Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood. The Radiohead KID A MNESIA Exhibition for PS5 is an uncanny experience Legendary alternative band Radiohead have built a free interactive art exhibition for the PlayStation 5 and PC. You can wishlist it on the Epic Games Store and PlayStation Store. The band and Epic Games are releasing Kid A Mnesia Exhibition for free on November 18th for PS5, Windows PC and Mac. Much better.You'll soon have the chance to visit Radiohead's virtual exhibition. Because then it didn’t have to conform to any normal rules of an exhibition. Until we realised… it would be way better if it didn’t actually exist. Much of Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is in some way based on the art that was done for each album and its accompanying LPs. Like Thom Yorke said of the death of the physical exhibition in the PlayStation blog, "Our dream was dead. Ilaria capesciotti, Mishref exhibition map, 6500dn toner. If that was in VR, I don't think I'd have left all day. Promocity moca, Fun football games for kids practice, Popisky na facebook, North yungas road. For the last ten minutes or so I just stood on the gantry where Packt Like Sardines was playing on a loop, looking around at the visuals and the other creatures in there. I've never had any interest at all in PSVR, but if this was fully realised in VR, I'd definitely buy a headset and just use it for this. The project is a celebration of two of the bands most acclaimed works - Kid A and Amnesia - which have now turned 21 and 20-years-old, respectively. I'd pay a full game's price tag for this - it's better and more repayable than most of them - yet it's completely free. Radioheads Kid A Mnesia Exhibition is a pretty strange beast indeed. Two great albums, and this environment for listening to all that music, and experiencing all this stuff tied together infinite times. And here there's so much more variety in all of that than you could achieve in the physical world.Īnd it's free. And as with any exhibition, what you take from it and how it feels will be different for everyone, or even for you on repeat visits, because it depends on the journey you take, the amount of time you spend in each room and corridor and all the other spaces, what you look at, focus on, how you transition from one state to another. But the way it's been folded into these environments is utterly captivating. It wouldn't work anywhere near as well, or possibly at all, with lesser stuff. I mean, the music on which it's based is in its own right magnificent, of course.
