Psychotropic House
On 15 November 2013, XAP created a Kickstarter with an £1,500 goal to raise funding for their new project called The Psychotropic House. It was successfully funded on 15 December with £1,770. The project itself ran from 10-30 January 2014, and was viewed by over 850 people. It was created as a project for Yinka Shonibare’s Guest Projects 2014, which allowed artists to use a space free for a month.

The exhibit was inspired by the story story “The Thousand Dreams of Stellavista" by J. G. Ballard, which focuses on "a house that comes to life, by feeding on the memories of its past inhabitants, and manipulating the behaviour of its new occupants". The space "combines traditional art media with interactive technology to create the interior of a house that responds to [a person's] presence" through touch, audio, projected pieces and social media.

Dirty Linen
The exhibition took place at the Curious Duke, 23-27 April 2013. Dirty Linen used prints, photography, drawing, installation and video to "air out the dirty laundry" of both the artists and visitors (the later through a washing basket and clothesline).
