What is Future Hooman?
Future Hooman is an interactive art experience disguised as a futuristic self-improvement company.
Inside you'll find strange inventions, hidden stories, surreal environments, impossible advertisements, mysterious documents, and clues that hint at a larger narrative.
Every room asks a different question:
What happens when technology promises to improve humanity?
Who decides what improvement means?
And what exactly is PHAX trying to sell?
