The SAT is a non-profit organization (NPO): supporting it is an investment in the continued relevance and sustainability of this important institution, ensuring that every dollar directly contributes to fulfilling its mission.
Since its creation in 1996, the SAT has been dedicated to the development of digital culture. It is the only place in Montreal (and probably in the world) to bring together under one roof an immersive theater (Satosphere), a research laboratory, a training center, a venue, a café and a restaurant.

Satosphere
The Satosphere is the first immersive theater dedicated to artistic creation. It forms a spherical projection screen that invites artists to explore new conceptual territories. With its dome 18 meters in diameter and 11.5 meters high, its 8 video projectors and its 93.5 loudspeakers, the Satosphere places the public at the heart of the audiovisual experience.
SAT’s public research center aims to be a place for the production of technological and methodological commons that can be easily transferred to practical settings.
An avant-garde urban space open to artists, organizations and promoters for the presentation of innovative and original projects in music and digital art.
With an educational model at the crossroads of technology and art, the SAT offers a program of evening classes and training for adults, as well as creative workshops and day camps for kids and teens.
The creation program at the SAT helps bring out new forms of digital creativity. The artists in residence benefit from artistic and technical support, in addition to the equipment of the SAT. Since its foundation, more than 180 immersive works have been created at the SAT.
