This call for immersive projects is carried by: AADN – Arts et Cultures Numériques, Vaulx-en-Velin Planetarium, Society for Arts and Technology [SAT] (Montréal), Cité des sciences et de l’industrie Planetarium (Paris), Stereolux (Nantes), Nantes Planetarium. By associating several French and Canadian structures, AADN's ambition is to bring together skills and resources in order to share these new immersive experiences with the largest possible audience.

This call invites creators to submit original projects, exploring different esthetics in order to propose a collective experience under a dome (spherical projection, spatialization sound and immersive scenography or increased).

The call for proposals is open to all artists or collectives – without any restriction of fields (theatre, music, audiovisual, transmedia, illustration...) – which will make sense and body under a dome and will exploit partially or totally the particularities of this installation:

• Spherical projection
• Use of sound spatialization systems
• Modularity of physical and virtual stage spaces
• Use of augmented scenography
• Original immersive audiovisual experience

The projects submitted should:

• adapt to the different workspaces and schedules offered
• be carried by a European or Canadian team, of which at least one member will have already been
produces audio or visual content for an immersive environment (dome or other formats).

Particular attention will be given to projects:

• which can be declined in several formats: live performance, projection
• encouraging the hybridity of genres and artistic disciplines
• proposing a line of work in relation to the Sciences of the Universe in the large sense (astrophysics, mathematics, life sciences, geology...), without being a scientific illustration project - the jury will be sensitive to the research carried out and the bibliography elements provided
