This year, we invite artists to reimagine memories in motion —its preservation, transformations, and blind spots. 

The tools and data ecosystems shaping our world today challenge the way we store, process, and affect our shared histories. Immersive art offers a dynamic space for creative experimentation and probes our perception of the world through the transformative lens of collective artistic experiences.

Through this theme, we encourage artists to explore the tensions between permanence and ephemerality, and the emerging pathways that connect the two.

Different tracks could be explored   :

• Navigating collective realities in an era of hyper-individualism : How do we reconcile fragmented perspectives into shared narratives
• Memories as a negotiation : Beyond fragmentation and alteration, what do we choose to preserve, and why?
• Subverting algorithms and reclaiming personal data: How can these tools become catalysts for agency and creative expression?
• Cultures : a collective shift? How are shared identities reshaped in moments of crisis or transformation?
• Novel Ecologies: How do hybrid systems emerge from the intersection of natural phenomenon and technological processes?
• Shaping the immaterial : How do we translate the ephemeral into shared, embodied experiences?

This residency aims to support immersive performances, films, or installations for a dome format. Projects can be original creations or adaptations of existing works.

• A creation fee, the amount of which will be established according to the AAMI scale
• A performance or distribution fee, the amount of which will be established according to the proposed distribution schedule
• Production support of up to $10,000 in value (space, equipment, support, training, documentation), from the residency to the public presentation
• Access to the dome and specialized production equipment for key stages
• Shared access to a workspace, according to the needs and the established production schedule
• Administrative assistance for any requests for additional support to complete the project (ex: letters of support).
• The possibility to be included in our catalog of works for distribution.

Please note that the resources offered will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to the needs, the proposed schedule, and the specifications of each project.

This program is open to international artists, under certain conditions. Please note that our residency program does not cover transportation or accommodation costs.

Projects are selected by a jury of peers based on their originality, artistic potential, as well as their technical feasibility and the artists’ ability to complete the project during the residency period. Only projects related to the theme will be considered.

Depending on the nature and specific needs of the project, we offer between 2 and 4 weeks of work under a dome, spaced over a period of 4 to 12 months.

Our residency program does not allow us to cover transportation or accommodation costs. However, we can support selected artists in their grant application process. Some production costs may be covered, upon evaluation by our team.

The aim of this residency is to develop a final work, lasting between 40 and 45 minutes depending on the category, which will be premiered and featured in our programming.

• During the residency: We will monitor the project’s progress and address its needs throughout the work sessions and in between.
• Mid-residency: Artists are required to present a developed version of their project at a public presentation.
• End of residency: Each premiere will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience, followed by a series of presentations.

Yes ! Collaborations are recommended.

 Yes. However, we will only accept one project per artist.
