hey. filmed a lot of spontaneous adventures that don't fit the mission/journey format so i figured this is the best way to share them. let me know your thoughts :)
Thoughts- THIS IS AMAZING.
It is amazing
really enjoyed this, would love to see more of this type of adventures
Super interesting. Enjoyed it
I really liked this style of video, I hope you make some more
Bro has been to pripyat and yet it's artsy hipsters that freak him out
He’s not alone
and drinking radioactive water
to be fair most modern art people are really fucking weird dude.
Hahahaha so true bro now hes scared af
Nothing at all unusual about a squatter art collective in Eastern Europe. It ain’t that confusing.
Hahaha, you guys just went to our collective art exhibition night !
Usually we find original places like here (the last time was an abandoned prison) and ask for local authorizations.
Then we organize special events and night(s) with artists and art students exhibiting their work all kind of different domains : visual art installations, videos, performances, conferences, sound & music ... It's all contemporary art, and everyone is free to come and enter. Pro tip : Next time you meet some rude people like the woman, just say you're doing an "ART PERFORMANCE" and they'll leave you alone and free to do whatever you want. 😉
Whaaaaat? that sounds so cool? what is it called?!
Wtf thats cool af
Technically speaking this whole channel is a sort of art, right?
An appreciation of lifeless places, abandoned by humanity and left to rot or crumble.
It’s sort of reminiscent of a world without humanity, which can create a sense of dread, fear or even tranquility. As life does tend to cease meaning without the feeling of fear and the experience of suffering and loneliness.
But in this case, the building has life breathing into it, something that is quite unexpected in the midst of decay.
It’s all sort of poetic, doubly-so due to the group being artists seeking inspiration and refuge amidst this place of solitude.
What's the name of the collective? :3
So if someone approaches me like this, I could theoretically fart softly in their face & claim that I am doing performance art? Technically speaking the whole fart is a sort of art, right? An appreciation of gas that would be waisted, but can be appreciate by those near me & many others instead of left alone in dead air.
It’s sort of an appreciation of that proverbial gas which created this world from nothing & again will return to nothing. Is that release of gas a sense of dread or tranquility? That proverbial loneliness at the thought of all the farts we have alone that will be reminiscent of the one final last fart as we draw our last breathe & we turn to nothing. Both farts cease to have meaning without the smell of them & with the experience of stomach cramps & aches.
But In this case, this fart has a sense of something coming at the end of it, something that may came unexpected out of this hole of decay. It’s very poetic, thricely so due to the group of all the other artists who also seek refuge, solace, & enjoyment in smelling their own farts.
I guess this is like an unexpected meeting of two worlds of thought. The people who set their event up at an abandoned building probably didn't even consider that someone might independently come and explore the place at the same time. The people who "kicked you out" were probably ones who helped set up the event in the theater room. No strict staff or security because the place is abandoned and they are all volunteers. If you had ended up chatting more, they might have seen you as an artist too and you might have made new friends.
absolutely, all artists
@@fakename2969drug addicts*
The cred is real.
No they wouldn't have. Snotty fucks that try to kick people out of public events like that when they're in no real position of authority to do so are not there to be your friend. They sneered when they opened the door and side eyed them without actually acknowledging their existence. As little interaction as possible was very much the right move.
If they don’t own that building they have no right kicking them out
this felt like a fever dream
Sure did, even with him talking us through the video I'm hella confused 😂
I dunno why this one was so funny to me. Like, shiey just totally baffled by art people's social stuff. "Why aren't people climbing anything?"
This was a fun one. World's collide kind of feeling.
Yeah, this is what the Art Community does when you give them 30k to make an event...
The "Climax" movie is exactly like this. I recommend to watch it😮😮😢
I swear I had a dream with a place looking exactly like this and a weird cult
What a trippy ass place.
imagine smoking weed in a place like this
@@shylocollins6562 lol weed...
Latvia’s one creepy country ;)
Hofmann is all I need to say
Where was this? Was this Lithuania?
It's the old main Soviet party building in Riga Center, Latvia. It is owned by the government and was rented out for private use and cultural/experimental events for the past years. Was there for. the one where all those mushroom decoratins were used. It looks like this video is filmed right after or before that event.
Was it a cool place? It kinda seems like a fun place to get lost in for an hour or two
do you know the adress? I will be in Riga next month, love to make a trip there
@3Aglaja3 Viskaļu iela 36a, Vidzemes priekšpilsēta, Rīga, LV-1006, Latvia
Maybe? Not sure. Cheers!
@@3Aglaja3its kind of in the kronvalda parks on the northwest corner. you can see it on google maps.
@@michaelearlgrey Wrong, seems like it's some different art-hipster-whatever meet up spot. The building in question is actually on Elizabetes iela 2, Centra rajons, Rīga, LV-1010, this time for sure ;)
Shiey is my constant reminder that I need to really live my life. My focus shouldn’t just be on work and paying bills.
Same brother.
sameee fuck work
I know 😢
Same here
same here man. i spend all my time worrying about crud. gotta find some buddies and explore stuff. and honestly being part of whatever art and stuff was going on in that building is hecka attractive to me.
5:17 "we're the first explorers in years to breathe this asbestos" cracked me up
me too 🤣
Lol @ 7:08 as well xD
Pretty morbid
The kind of Shiey video we didn't know we needed
Fr
fr
Nah. It’s worse than his music
fr
Yeah man fr fr
the part where he is above the theater really reminds me of his old videos where he is sneaking in to the factories
reminded me of the tutorial mission of Bioshock.
this seems like an absolute nightmare of a place to trip in
I was thinking that. Imagine trying to find the door!
Shiey looks so gangsta in his new haircut
Looks fire asf
He honestly looks better with the haircut. It also looked so uncomfortable because of all the constant moving around he does.
@@arcticwolf6402 always a critic among the comments😂
Honestly I thought the middle part was neat, but I guess he's going for practicality
Rocking that haircut dude
Holy shit, shiey storytime? Let’s fucking go
100
Funny how this "secret society" gives me the creeps, while u were there in actual secret mode, and I love it.
The building is a public community center btw. Not abandoned at all😂 you got there on an active night of all the times. The conference hall/theater is brand new, made in 2022. The lights were turned off for the art exhibit. And the guy talking was a local entrepreneur etc and he was also the guy playing music at the end.
Where is this center? I'd love to visit
Whats the round room thing where he smashed the fluro on the wall?
@@belverdemotorsports2410 Riga, Elizabetes iela 2 :) I walk there everyday
Shhh don’t tell us the truth it’s not creepy 😅
@@Amunetewhy did the guy that was showing him around not say that it wasn't actually abandoned? Who was the one guy that people were staring at? This entire thing is strange
Journeys be damned, our man has upgraded to documentaries
This is pretty funny to me, as i frequently hang out/work in those kind of place. Just an usual artist-run space, where all kind of fun and cool shit happens. But i totally understand the confusion if you're not familiar with it lol
I got "anarchist commune" vibes from it. Does that track with your experience?
@@matthewlinus4691 it really does ! Most of the time it's a group of artists that rent out old offices buildings for cheap, as they make the perfect space to work, live, make exibithions, concerts... It's usually a small community that run those space and most of them are fairly open to the public. So yea, no big institution in charge means theres a pretty "communisty" vibe to it :)
@@matthewlinus4691 I was looking if any other comment picket up an anarchist vibe from it
@@matthewlinus4691 It's more of just a community led artistic project, I wouldn't describe it as artistic just very free and experimental-Not well funded, usually, so it can be very surreal. You'll usually see more resourceful uses to obtain this-Lots of emotion comes from simple tone changes such as lights, this building feels really cosy to be honestly : D
Yeah I got the same vibe from this as the warehouse artist spaces I used to go raves at in Philly. Lots of abandoned rooms then you stumble upon a workshop or living space or DJ event 🤷♂️
It would be cool if you posted more of these weird ass places you've stumbled across. The story consept was really nice and you performed it really well. More of these!
This building looks like someone made a bunch of prototype horror game levels and someone just took them all and stitched them together. But like, made real.
New haircut looking freshh!
For what Shie does, the old hair looked quite uncomfortable and inconvenient, actually. Bet he's feeling better with the new hair.
I thought so. Looks fresh.
Shiey is like a breath of fresh air - i for one approve of what he does and what he brings to us all, a sense of freedom, looking at the world in a different way and from views we never consider - here's a to a fresh free spirit - love you Shiey
His eyes stare combined with the haircut reminds me with Anthony Kiedis
Shrooms art and painting. Well well 😂
I LOVE the unobtrusive, creepy soundtrack. Perfectly done. You don't notice it so much, just the feeling of disquiet it brings. That takes thought and talent.
did you watch with headphones? the weird screaming violin noises annoyed me
@@maximillionboi no, i didn't notice.
Reminds me a lot of Shunt London in the 2000s which was a bunch of artists doing weird shit inside abandoned underground tunnels next to London Bridge station.
What kind of weird shit?
@@TheKingOfBeans Installations, music, sculptures, poetry corner, a maze, and if you get to the centre of the maze you find the entrance for a "butcher show" which was a woman cutting up raw meat. And all that took place inside derelict underground tunnels and forgotten WW2 bunkers. Very weird vibe
@@TheKingOfBeansdrugs that’s all. Artists like these do art for cover the real desire is drugs
@maqaroon What maqaroon?? So cool u watched shiey, i watch both of you. Totally different genres haha
@@maqaroon like woowy
This all sounds like someone describing a dream they had rather than an actual anecdote XD
Wild. Such a strange, but pretty well kept up place. Shiey more openly "on the prowl" than a typical sneak video.
A friend of mine lives in Chicago and he took me to a huge building that looked as abandoned as can be. Well it turns out artists rent out studios in the building even though it is mostly abandoned (his dad is an artist in one of the studios) So that may be what you have stumbled into
Do you remember what part of town that was in?
@@MultiDemension unfortunately no. Best location i can give is its near the Sox stadium. (but im sure a lot of things are near the sox stadium lmao)
I am loving this alternative format of shorter stories alongside the full-length adventure videos ! Your cinematic choice of explaining during the story and then cutting back into the footage was awesome !
By far one of the freshest videos by shiey in recent memory. Missed his sneaking missions into not so abandoned buildings.
I don't usually watch building exploration content but yours is always very well made, your personality is calm but not boring and that's rare on this platform
shiey creating a video with unsettling/creepy vibe definitely wasn't on my 2024 bingo. i must say that the new format with your storytelling is great!!
Art exhibitions are seriously cool! I remember in Amsterdam i was wonering around and i heard some kinda cool mysterious music playing and an open door. I walked down a hallway hoping for some kinda house party or some shit but once i got to the hall it seemed rather posh/high-end and not somewhere i should be. Luckily the guy behind the desk immedietly told me it was a free art exhibition and i could donate before or after.
This was more engaging than 99% of the movies out there.
Nice❤ we want more :)
Repent of your sins
Damn really? A channel member wants more content?
the conference room is some sly cooper type shit
I wanted to write it myself 🦝
Shiey love the format! A lot of channels I watch (camping, biking, hiking, climbing, videos) I enjoy most when the person isn't speaking in the moment, but a bit of narration in post helps set the story. As a personal side, I try not to talk when I film things either, helps me enjoy the moment and the videos end up being good memories.
Bro this new style you got goin on is sweet! New haircut, new thumbails, new filming style, im really liking it, and it feels like a good natural progression of your channel
This is an amazing way to share with us the smaller adventures that don’t fit into a giant mission. Appreciate your content and see the world through your eyes.
You have such a soothing voice and your way of articulating yourself makes it so enjoyable to listen to you! It's really nice to see you experiment with different types art and videos, your music, long format exploration, the tightly edited missions and now this. I dig it man!
this place is creepy as hell but also a show of human culture and art, it's really interesting >:0
i was really engaged with this type of format ngl. the setting definitely helped a lot bc i was feeling the confusion shiey was feeling throughout this. loved it
so cool Shiey . u inspired me to start "urbexing" u are the best ,stay safe !
Dude, i love this format, i'd honestly love to see more stories like these.
perfect choice for the background music, 10/10 adds to the atmosphere
As far as I know it's super common to hold these types of art exhibitions in buildings that are soon to be demolished or serve no other real purpose
Looks like a shitty artist loft building where artists would pay to use the space for whatever they want (most end up working on their art so often they live in the space) and its just a giant open floor plan first come first serve in terms of space they get. Maybe there is no payment, but I know people who lived in places like this in a few major cities in the US. Usually the walls are covered in art and there are random exhibitions all over the place like in this building. Sometimes places like this fall apart due to the artists never making money, but most cases it is cheap to live there from what I know (usually owners work in some type of art themselves so they attempt to give artists space to do freely as they choose no limits). Many times that leads to it being over run by homeless people due to the amount of random people who can come in and out. Pretty cool nonetheless!
It's a former communist building in Riga that stood unused for several years, before artist Arnis Ritups decided to open some workshops and art spaces there. It was an official rent at the time of filming. So yeah, kinda like loft/squat, but with papers. From what I know, now it's being reconstructed.
@@jakefinnegan1932 Fascinating stuff. This is the House of Fools, I take it? Has Arnis Ritups been seen in person since he "went missing?" Other than the YT vid that might have been him? Props to Shiey's emerging journalist storytelling skills, giving us a story behind the story.
I honestly .. enjoyed this kind of format. Like explaining what you did and show the footage afterwards. Build up quite a bit of tension, even though nothing really "bad" had happened. xD
I like this Story format, it has something mysterious with it. It's a cool way to share your adventures.
This adventure was really nice but also a bit strange, i'm glad you shared it with us.
I love places like this
just being able to wander around with child like curiosity
I love shiey's content so much, been here since 100k subs
The 'middle'-roof above the theater reminds me of times I were helping my father while he was working in a church in Grevenbroich/Germany. There was a similar roof next to the large bells (yes, they were really loud)
I like the format, I will say this format is perfect for this type of exploration, where you are just at a loss for words.. Imagine this was a regular video it would have been a 3-hour video of exploring, or a series of multiple uploads exploring one building
This looks like the kind of building I'd love to explore while stoned.
keep on making more of these storytime videos, they're amazing!!
That was really thrilling, please do more of these style :)
This video was absolutely awesome, thank you for the experience, i want to visit this building! The format is also great, i would love to see more like this!
Storytime?? Hell yeah!! Bring 'em all.
I really like this editing style. Fits this video so well
for a similar experience you could get in contact with someone who knows about the catacombs under paris (the illegal part) and go explore there. Lots of random cool stuff under there
Easily one of the coolest and weirdest exploration, loved every bit of this, gave a vibe otherwise wouldn't experience, with those nice amazing pink and white aesthetic lights, that galaxy like room especially, these are my favourite
shiey storytime before gta 6 is craaazy
Almost reminds me of the City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri. There's a place called "Cement Land" that the same guy built, it's pretty incredible.
I have delivered to the City museum. My company is just south of Cement land. The guy died when his bull dozer flipped over.
@@marcmo7138 Yeah it's a real shame, he was brilliant and created some really cool stuff in the area.
I love this format. You commenting on what's happening and switching between the experience and this interview-esque story telling is really great. Reminds me of a more creepy version of surfs up
I really actually liked this vid a lot. It’s something new and unique on RUclips. It would be great if you made this into a special series focusing on artistic, hippie, underground movements in Europe and other places
Nice haircut my man😁
What random shit happend in thjs building 😅 love this storytelling kind of video
"ALL THAT MATTERS" is absolute fire, my boi 💯
My man spittin' 🔥🔥🔥
Love the new hairstyle! Keep up the good work brother!
This is awesome it feels like one of your old videos
Storytime & new song??let's fucking go
We all know shiey is a handsome man.. but damn the new haircut makes your eyes shine👀
stay safe🫶🏻
I dig this format. This reminds me of exploring random places during and right after high school.
This story telling format works really well, that was a great idea and suits these smaller lenght videos. Hopes for this be regular
Looks cool man do you have eny tips How to get to locked rooftops and how not to get caught?
DAMN THAT NEW HAIRCUT LOOKING MAJESTIC DAYUMN
Nice ...saving this to watch at my own time later.. got to enjoy shiey's vid
last time i see you nothing kicking off, hope you enjoy your trip into someons other settings. thx 4 bringing up good compassion locations to me.
The 🐐 has returned
Always a good day with a Shiey upload!
Absolutely
This is a great way to share these stories. More, please!
ayyy love the new format man! so cool and interesting to also hear your point of view on everything, and when you explain what youre doing and where you're going it is a bit easier to follow, more understandable. Love it.
Those locks are easy to pick with the rake method.
Highly recommend learning it.
That would push above the grey area of legality, there is illegal freedom, then there is breaking and entering.
@@Kastley it is already abandoned, all of the people in there don’t own the building
New type of video? Lets fucking go!
this format worked really well. good video as usual, keep up the good work!
That reminds me to 1989 and early 90s here in Germany the time when the iron curtain fell and there was this kind of anarchie everywhere, no police, no public offices, everything just improvised, there were also lot of those 'abandoned' public buildings and places where there were techno parties in the basements just randomly organized and such stuff. Great times, best times ever.
Yeah, Latvia is a pretty weird place, right? :D
Bro... I can't tell you how much I appreciated this new "story" format, I sure hope there will be other videos like this soon. Also, great haircut :)
This format of video is actually really cool, it feels good man, keep up the good work🫶
That was really nice, the neons everywhere, and that weird welcoming feeling
Anyone know what the building was? Why all the people?
Curious as well
believe its the "riga world trade center" in riga latvia was the communist party headquarters and then an office building
What a creepy place. I used to go into lots of interesting places when younger but never anything that creepy and weird. Your video captures well the creapyness.
creepiest building I ever explored was an abandoned residential building that was stuffed full with children toys, dolls, plush toys etc and had multiple rooms completely furnished as kid's rooms even tho the former owner apparently didn't have any kids. Never learned the story behind, but was pretty surreal.
This is such a hilarious little adventure, love the background music and narration
Damn it’s like a dream u know go into one area with shit going then walk into the next door with something different asf while nobody care or paying attention to you. This was a crazy building.
Letsgo!
Where are you going?
Nice video Shiey! I have so many questions and curiosities. What building is this? What was going through the builders minds when designing that building? Why does this building have the most random stuff in it? How do you go from some run down apartment rooms with stolen goods and weapons to a full on theater?
it's an artist-run space. it was probably rented (or brought) by artists as a place to work, live, make and display all kind of art, music... They hold event frequently, and shiey and his friends probably stumbled upon one of those nights. They're pretty cool communities :)
@@pableau5448 awesome! thanks for answering some of my questions!
honestly, really loved this way of sharing your adventures. idk if i like it more or less than raw footage but still, it's interesting stuff :]
This reminds me a lot of an old apartment building an old friend lived in in Atlanta about 20 years ago. It was abandoned but a bunch of georgia tech students were basically squatting there. They had somehow bootlegged power for the whole building (theyre elite level engineering students) and were living in the top floor loft apartments. A lot of the lower level apartments had been turned into various things like an insane gaming room, one "rave room" which was a large room that i guess was formerly a lounge for tenants which had been rigged with a professional quality sound system and pretty much everything else youd find at a dance club, a computer lab for school worki guess bc they all had their own pcs, a roof terrace with an insane view and on and on with others ive forgotten.. It was dope as hell but in a very sketchy area but of course they had cameras and alarms set up for that lol. I guess the building owners were absentee and had no idea. It was literally like something you'd see in a 2000s era college movie. From what I remember it had been going a couple years but i highly doubt its still around. I just wish I could remember where it was but ive long since lost touch with that friend and he hasnt been on social media since MySpace. Owell maybe one day ill reconnect with him.
man's cut his hair because he's a professional now.
that's "Teritorja, Riga" - Teritorija is a late private club with strictly underground music policy.
This is misinformation.
@@xShikari nope, it is not. Name is literally visible in the video at the end when the guys are leaving the building :)
@@stankobulanov8428I don't know what to tell you. Teritorija is just lithuanian for area. What do you see in the end is a hashtag which includes the word teritorija. If you look carefully, then you'll see the first few letters to the very end of the video.
This is NOT the nightclub teritorija.
Nope. It's a world trade center "Riga". And it's a legit place, not abandoned and definitely not squatted (okay, maybe a bit)
it does not seem like it's the same place on google maps
Aweoms stuff shiey. Been a long time viewer. Been watching since 2017. Couldn’t be more proud of what you’ve become and how you’ve continued to evolve further and further.
Your videos are like artwork. They have enspired me to explore further into things we consider off limits as a society. Keep up the amazing work man. Much love dude.
New style of shiey on this one. The narrative is amazing. Love it brother!
Is writing "first" still a trend?
Apparently writing anything related to saying first has become the new "first", like this comment
