A French Art House Music Full Dome Show of 4 pieces: Econometrics,  Phosphène, La Matière des Souvenirs and -22.7 by DJ Molecule. 45 min

Embark on a daring journey with Introductory Économetrics, a colorful, almost lifelike work. Introductory Econometrics is an exploratory animation composed of generative visuals, a creative visualization of various elements of economic modelling. This film acts as a live econometrics manual, where graphics are freed from rigid grids and move in a living andcomplex universe of coloured and dancing data points. Artist, producer and director: Lydia Yakonowsky Music: Wojciech GOLCZEWSKI

Then Phosphène, an immersive work by artist Jérémy Oury, a poetic and magnetic experience.   “Phosphene” is a hypnotic and mesmerizing experience of forms and illusions of destructurations. The movement and the energy of light reveals the dome’s architecture. From chaos to creation, birth to elevation, Artist, producer and director: Jérémy OURY Music : SPECTRO

Then dive into the heart of La Matière des Souvenirs, a work that reinvents dreams in its purest, most absolute form.  The visual journey of memories is possible in certain hypnosis or dream situations. The focus on this film is the ability of immersive films to provide the sensation of dream vision. How to visualize what is in the past or in the future, what is absent from the present. The film is a journey, a mental journey that uses all the scales of the human gaze to memories, from the infinitely large to the smallest invisible.

 Discover -22.7°C: alone in Greenland, French DJ electronic music producer Molécule captured the sounds of the Arctic to compose his latest work. Inspired by this adventure, -22.7°C takes you on an initiatory journey to the sources of musical creation (38 min).

DOT Live Planetarium: Life of a Star (EN)

Follow the life cycle of a star – from clouds of gas and dust to glowing stars, supernovae, and mysterious black holes.

Stars are born, they live, and they die – and their life stories are written all across the sky. In this show, we follow the journey of a star from its birth in a glowing nebula to its final fate as a white dwarf, a neutron star, or even a black hole. Along the way, we’ll explore what stars are made of, how they shine, and how they (and their deaths) help create elements, planets, and even life. Starting from Earth, we lift off into space and travel through the Milky Way to witness all the stages of stellar evolution – from star nurseries, through supernovae, to the strange and extreme objects that dying stars leave behind.
