About Us
Monos Menos Manos (m³ for short) is a Chicago-based collective that creates immersive sensory experiences to stimulate the mind and excite the imagination. Drawing on a wealth of disciplines ranging from film, programming, and art theory to biology, engineering, and visual cognition research, we blur the lines between art and science to make unique and memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.
