According to a press release, the Kid A Mnesia exhibition “is an upside-down digital/analogue universe created from Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood’s original artwork and audio design by Nigel Godrich.” Radiohead worked with both Epic, namethemachine (who create software for live shows and interactive performances) and Arbitrarily Good Productions to make the exhibition. Its release seems set to coincide with the reissue of the old Kid A and Amnesiac albums, Kid Amnesiae, which comes out on November 5th (via Pitchfork). There’s no word on whether it will be an interactive thing like, say, the League Of Legends Pentakill concert that took place the other night (that had viewers clicking furiously to send off fireworks and voting for what would happen). Though being an “exhibition” it implies more observing, and less audience participation. On the Epic Games Store page for the exhibition it lists its genres as “exploration” and “first-person”, and its features as “single player” and “controller support”. Take from that what you will, but at the very least it seems likely we’ll be wandering around some cool areas while listening to some sweet tunes. We’ll find out for sure sometime this November.
