At the Fulldome Institute, we research, we collect, we catalogue, document and distribute knowledge about the creation of spatial audio and immersive media, specially fulldome.

We develop new techniques and methods for the medium, and provide tools and workflows to artists, who want to experiment in this format.

We aim to promote the use of free software and open source code, and try to recreate expensive setups with low cost alternatives. Our projects should save resources, be replicable for many, and foster a a creative spirit of joint multidisciplinary innovation.

Inside the Fulldome Institute, we conduct classes and workshops, in which artists, engineers and technologists can try out new ways of creation in pre-rendered and live workflows.

"The Rebels of Fulldome"

In this way, we are empowering the next disruptive generation of multidisciplinary Fulldome artists, leading "The Rebels of Fulldome".
This self-proclaimed movement creates, mentors and explores artistic development from inside the Fulldome Institute and outside of the unwritten rules and paradigms of the medium.

And what about you?

Do you want to explore beyond the four corners of your screen?
Then, become part of the rebellion! Don't worry, if you don't have a background in digital arts, the Fulldome Institute is for everyone.
No computer required!
