I would love to see an Omega Mart employee training video. EDIT: Thanks. Everyone can stop telling me about the training videos. I made this comment within days before they published them, and of course I watched them all as they were released.
Wonder what that's actually like. Wheb I was there, one of the employees was walking around the store while cradling a carton of milk in her arms. I saw another dancing with the veggies in the produce area.
They acknowledged the fact that people think it is a real supermarket and that they had to tell people it wasn’t. They also said how the art was made, so aside from a few things it is not in-universe.
Omega Mart has to be one of the coolest art projects I've ever heard of. We need more stuff like this across the US, this is great for our artistic culture.
The strangest iconic thing I always see even in "regular" American stores is cheese poof balls in giant plastic jars. For me that's a really strange normal thing and I'd like to think it's actually an Omega Mart original product that sort of escaped and started stocking itself en masse in other regular stores
I love how they're self aware in this video, but at the same time they don't give up the act that it's a real place where real stuff happens I absolutely love art and I'm hooked on this, I think Omega Mart is one of the best and most unique art projects I've ever come across.
@@ja785y I know! I think it's really cool and I defs wanna go there if I ever go to Las Vegas But what I mean is it's a really good piece of art. It's sorta like the SCP foundation, it's played off as real to make it feel more real, which ads to the spooky factor, except with this it's just strange, cool, and unsettling. That's the closest thing I can compare it to,
I think that is kind of the point. As it gets more and more “real”, the line between art and reality gets more blurred, forcing you to reevaluate what is considered art. It can almost pass off as a real store until you see something that is totally insane. Yeah, something like fish soda is wacky, but it is also not impossible that it exists somewhere. The suspension of disbelief goes a long way until something eventually breaks it, and that is really cool.
That’s absolutely how stores pop up. Starting our small and then becoming bigger and more elaborate and then finally branching out. I really want to buy things from Omega Mart.
EPILEPSY/STROBE WARNING: Just as a heads-up for anyone watching with epilepsy, there's a pretty serious strobe effect right after the 2:57 mark. There may or may not be others after it, also.
this is definantly amazing I loved and still love seeing this thing evolve overtime I don't know 2009 omegamart was a thing but I love it's fun to see how far it's came
3:11 The orange thing in the bottom left is an actual fruit called the Kiwano Horned Melon. Tastes like a mix of banana and lemon, absolutely something you’d find in Omegamart.
I wish I lived closer to be able to go see this awesomeness by myself. Working in retail I love the concept of these abstract product, as well as the working "condition" of such a store.
I went there a few weeks ago. They give you a card and it’s like a Easter egg hunt. You have to complete employee training to trying to find a missing daughter. It’s fun.
@@zxmb137 I did. You have to find clues on where she disappeared to. There’s computers at some areas where you have to scan the card and let you look through stuff and access someone’s emails and stuff. I don’t know how to explain it but you should experience it yourself. It’s fun and exciting.
me and my family wanted to go there but there was five of us and it costed 45$ a person and it equaled 225 for all of us and we didint have the money to go in so we couldn't that day we we're there- 💃
no I think thats just part of the immersion actually. YOU KNOW its just dyed water in the bottle but you play the game and ask the clerk anyway, and he will probably give you an in-universe answer because he is an actor supposed to stay in character, thats his job. I know I would mess around with the concept :P
I was always curious to see the wonderful minds behind this whimsical art piece, so thank you for uploading this!! Super super cool to see the backstory too :)
I’ve been to Vegas for my BIL’s wedding, my honeymoon, a work conference. The last time I stayed for the work conference- I stayed 2 weeks. It was more than enough & I swore I’d never go back. Only Meow Wolf & Omega Mart is pulling me to consider a trip when I am ready.
All I've seen on Omega Mart reminds me of the "Welcome to Night Vale" web broadcasts. One part Twilight zone, one part X-Files, one part Lovecraft.. and 100% surreal humour.
The first time I heard about Omega mart was a video on food theory and matpat just made it sound so cool so I looked it up and now I have been watching all these videos and I am amazed at how cool this is and I would definitely go to Las Vegas just to come here I’d like to say well done Meow Wolf this is more than art and no I don’t know what’s in store for meeee
What i loved about OmegaMart was heading in and trying every door, oike a real life video game, and finding tucked away rooms that others who didnt play RPGs as a kid missed... Also some rooms had stuff only a Phones Camera could catch... So if you go to OmegaMart, explore the store, try all the doors... Because you really dont have any idea whats in store for you ;D
How do I work there? You want me; I have experience in both, retail, and eldritch abominations, along with a Bachelor's in Management from Miskatonic University.
It is so great to see artists take their art to this level...idk how the TH-cam rabbit hole led me here but thank you algorithm gods...and congrats to the artists!
I love the cheerfully mundane little starburst item sticker that says $AVE YOURSELF NOW! Like some counterforce or the waning consciousness of a previous victim is warning you to get out of the store. Almost as ominous as that fortune cookie message I got last week that said YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW....
I am from other side of the world and wont be able to visit this great attraction but I love how you put details in everything! The meat section is amazing and if I am inside omegamart I would spend the whole day reading through everything!
I first learned of Omega Mart through an imgur post and I've been partially addicted to it since, the strange and surreal on display is completely up every one of my alleys. I've shown it to everyone I know that would even remotely like this sort of thing. I'll probably never get to see it in person before it's gone, but I've adored what I have seen here and there on TH-cam. If any of the crew are looking down here, just serious props to every aspect of this project,
I’ve been to Las Vegas a couple of times but I’m so disappointed I’ve missed Meow Wolf’s exhibits. These things seem right up my alley. Maybe when like this whole pandemic nightmare is really over I’ll go back and visit this place
Yeah. I'm in one of those discord servers and people were talking about this place. The game the discord server is for has a room in the game that's from this store.
Just visited Omega Mart and it was amazing. We were on a cross country road trip and literally planed a stop in Vegas around a pilgrimage to Omega Mart. Can’t wait to come back and we not so secretly hope Meow Wolf builds something similar near our home city.😀
We live in Vegas and just did Omega Mart for my bday today. We were there for quite a few hours, had a blast and we made it to the end. When you’re in Vegas, highly recommend you check it out. So much fun!!!
Can't wait to visit this place and piece the story together, I've got maybe half of it but I feel like I'll end up having to go to fully understand it. Also I need some of that Whale Song.
She sounds so calm and normal when she says "there may be a vortex in the aisle." Yep, perfectly normal supermarket
A “totally normal store”
Hate stepping in those goddamn things, they should really have better policies on cleaning them at most *absolutely normal stores*
It's a normal thing I always see a vortex in my house
I hate when it happens
only ones no-normaly things, a price. it's special!
I like that Omega Mart isn't outright evil, just... strange.
No, no I promise it's veerrryyy evil. You could take it as a confused grocery store though.

@@KatSuYeah I'd read it as part of the weirdness to begin with...
@@TKRuna how did you translate "buy tickets now" into some weird shit?
@@KatSuYeah Grocery stores don't generally require tickets.
Because omega mart is a tourist attraction
I’m going insane wondering if this is an in-universe documentary or not
They acknowledged the fact that people think it is a real supermarket and that they had to tell people it wasn’t. They also said how the art was made, so aside from a few things it is not in-universe.
Well, it clearly isn't.
Was that worth losing your sanity for ?
Omega Mart has to be one of the coolest art projects I've ever heard of. We need more stuff like this across the US, this is great for our artistic culture.
The slogan was “Part of the food chain part of the fun”? My life is a lie. How will I know what’s in store for me now?

Theory: time goes faster in omega mart since the new commercials are getting more modern
im feeling nostalgic already for the old commercials :'(
I love how they're self aware in this video, but at the same time they don't give up the act that it's a real place where real stuff happens

I want to become an Omega mart employee and just occasionally lie on the floor for a little bit
I love how the answer to whether or not Omega Mart is real is basically "Yes, but actually no."
The answer is just as ambivalent as its existence.
