ABOUT

MISSION &
PHILOSOPHY


Prototype creates genuine human connections for curious adults through innovation in supersensory and interactive design. We offer a new world of in-person social engagement through mindful and heart-filled experiments that only humans can build for other humans.

Experimental
museum seeking real connection

In a culture awash in AI slop and superficial likes, Prototype goes deeper with animation, lighting and sound, engaging all the human senses to create shared memories and authentic conversation.

A Social Enterprise
committed to mission over money

Ticket revenues pay for operating and finance expenses, staffing, and new R&D, not private profits.

An audience of
participants, not
merely visitors

By actively creating art, sharing ideas, and providing feedback, Prototype visitors actively join the experiment.

Highly collaborative
and built for
dissemination

Prototype is designed to share new insights and technologies within the professional museum and cultural communities.

Built for
continual iteration
and change

Ongoing version updates in creative design technologies ensure that every Prototype visit is different from the last.

Created in partnership
with leading creatives
