About Thought Experience:

An immersive interactive art experience located at the heart of Times Square, The Thought Experience combines today’s pressing topics with conceptual art and will be featuring the most expensive piece of art ever.

Some of the exhibits ask the following:

What is a hamburger? How much does it cost to live in NYC? Why are some things that seem similar so extremely different? What is good art? What is the state of sport in America? And more!
