Labos immersifs

Creation program

Date limite : January 11, 2025
Open: Dec 12, 2024

The Society for arts and technology is launching a call for applications for Quebec-based and Lyon-based artists, as part of the Labos Immersifs, a collaborative fulldome creation residency.

Presented by the SAT and AADN, this first Montreal edition of the Labos Immersifs, which will take place from March 17 to 21 2025, will welcome a cohort of selected artists to co-create immersive audiovisual works under a dome. The participants will work in teams alongside artists from different parts of the world to develop a draft of a work, which will be presented to the public at the closing event.

This call will complete the international cohort of the Labos Immersifs by inviting Quebec-based and Lyon-based artists to apply.

This week of collaborative work offers you:

  • Shared access to the Satosphere (projection dome and 93.5 sound system);
  • A workspace outside the dome;
  • Shared access to production equipment (rendering machine, multichannel audio interface);
  • A software toolkit for immersive audiovisual creation;
  • Masterclasses and specialized workshops on audiovisual production in the dome;
  • The opportunity to collaborate with fulldome artists from around the world!

With no participation fees, the Labos Immersifs offer you the perfect opportunity to refine your skills in fulldome creation, collaborate with international artists, immerse yourself in the digital community, and put your talents to the test in our dome.

SAT wishes to contribute to an inclusive and diverse cultural scene. It encourages women, trans and non-binary people, members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, members of Indigenous communities, racialized people, visible and/or ethnic minorities, as well as people with disabilities to submit their proposals.
