You are cordially invited to the soft launch of Futuring: A Zoo For Extinct Animals, a first-of-its-kind interactive holo zoo. For our initial launch, we are virtually bringing back a set of animals from extinction. Come help us introduce them to their new virtual homes. If you are unable to make it you can still virtually send them food and positive vibes through the website that will be provided.

This will be an in-person installation at the CultureHub LA studio. RSVPs are encouraged but not required.

Online Holo Zoo Access: If you are unable to make it to the in-person installation, the holo zoo will be accessible to the public on the day of the event using this link. On the website you will have the ability to interact with the animal by sending them food & vibes. Each animal will be responding to the collective actions of all users from around the world, kind of like a tamagotchi owned by everyone who takes part. The animals may not respond immediately to your actions but rest assured eventually they will feel the love.

This project is created by Caco Peguero and supported by the CultureHub Residency Program.
