EMDL European Mobile Dome Lab for Artistic Research.

Abstract

This panel describes the activities and presents the outcomes of artistic research carried out on the EMDL European Mobile Dome Lab Project, an international collaboration funded by the European Culture Programme (Strand 1.3.5). E / M / D / L has built an international network for the exchange of artistic and technological expertise, with the goal of researching and documenting a language and grammar unique to the full-dome medium. Bringing together four European and three Canadian institutions and cultural partners, all leaders in this field, the project aimed to share and expand skills, methodologies, strategies and content within this promising creative vehicle. Between February 2014 and September 2015, the participants took part in eight residencies and public presentations offered in five countries, where a mobile domic architectural structure equipped with cutting-edge technologies will be set up. This culminated a series of works at the world’s most sophisticated virtual theatre, the Satosphere in Montreal, Canada.
