Take a trip without leaving Chelsea Market at Artechouse, a new digital art space that recently debuted its first New York exhibition, Machine Hallucination. The large-scale piece by Turkish artist Refik Anadol is comprised of 300 million 3-D images of NYC that converge in seriously trippy ways to create an Instagram-worthy synesthetic experience in Chelsea Market’s vast boiler room.

Reflect upon space and time — and take a minute to snap a selfie, obviously — among the LED lights and silver orbs that make up Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room – Dancing Lights That Flew Up to The Universe at David Zwirner Gallery. The Japanese artist has developed a cult following for her Infinity Rooms, which beg to be photographed. This latest 13-and-a-half-foot installation accompanies an exhibition of new surrealist canvas paintings from Kusama’s “My Eternal Soul” series.

David Zwirner Gallery, 525 and 533 West 19th Street | Runs through Dec. 16 | Tues-Sat: 11 AM- 6 PM | Free
