The MUSEUM OF THE HIDDEN CITY is an immersive audio and Augmented Reality documentary that explores the history and future of America’s quest to house all its citizens. We have just released the first chapter in the story, titled “Total Planning.” Spoken word, archival audio, and secret historical artifacts reveal the challenges architects and community activists faced in trying to completely rebuild a ghetto. The experience works for one player or small groups. In the words of one audience member: “With Museum of the Hidden City, you learn not only about the powerful stories it weaves into your environment, but it shifts your mindset into a state of curiosity of how you see and understand cities at large.”
