FCR would like to thank the Zeiss Planetarium Bochum for their openness and accessibility over the years.
Through the power of teamwork we were able to create a new experience in the dome, which builds upon our past collaboration with @jan.adamus and @rosamichael.digital
By working with the @offworldlive suite of 360° Camera Live plugins, we are able to play games and animate the dome in real time. And we modified a version of Jan's proof of concept test level.
Our friends @sonic_moves Marc and Jakob from Leipzig created their own app sonicmoves.net which lets you create exciting soundscapes that you can control with your body.
We were able to combine the two for the first time, and Julie made it all come together with her first sonic moves!
There is still a lot to be explored and to be done, stay tuned for our next experiments! In the meantime, help the devs out and check the app, it's a LOT of fun!
Sandija Trautmane, aka Digidiva. Multimedia Artist.
Sandija has not only demonstrated high quality work delivery, but also a hands-on and self-taught attitude, predisposition to connect with partners from around the world and openness to learn in several disciplines. These are the type of attitudes we look forward to empower as Future Campus Ruhr.
"THE DROP" by @digidiva.visuals
She applied her knowledge and experience in VJing and traditional digital Postproduction, together with our best practices and recommendations to approach such visual creative techniques into the fulldome format.
Through her words: "The Drop is a visual and emotional fall through collapsing layers- of nature, self, and reality. The viewer is constantly moving: falling through sky, swallowed by growing -roots, then shattered in a violent rupture. But at the end, they find peace--in light, in breath, in stillness. It's about surrendering to change. About death, transformation, and beauty. By combining generative visuals, 3D elements, and a custom soundscape to guide the journey. It's not a narrative, it's a feeling."

Juan José Centeno, aka Jota. Director of Formula Lumen.
We are powering Jota the access to our Fulldome Workshop as it will not only enhance his expertise, but also harness his multiplier effect, spreading best practices through his Bolivian and European networks to empower South American creators.
"LU-JO" by Juan José Centeno & Lukas Schaefer
JOTA teamed-up with @schaefer.music (@noendtotheroad_witten ) and together their took us to audiovisually experience both Sunset & Sunrise in the dome.
Eventhough it would seem this is a years-long collective, Lukas and Jota only first met at our 25 hours Fulldome workshop.
During the group storytelling and workflow brainstorming on Day 2, they both realized their had the same emotion and idea to develop at the dome, Lukas through sound and Jota through video.
Albert Morisseau Leroy. Author. Poet. Multimedia Artist.
At FCR, we believe that inviting Albert into our Fulldome Workshop is more than supporting a single artist, it is an invitation for many to step into new dimensions of creation. As witnessed during IBSIC 2025 in Lille, Albert carries knowledge outward. He is a risk taker and community builder. He connects, inspires, and empowers a growing network of African creators that will be the next ones ready to shape the dome with their own vision.
"IndepDaysBreath", "FACEdome" and "NDOP" by Albert Morisseau Leroy & @lasymphonie_dusouffle
Albert did not sleep at all during the workshop! As he came up with 3 different artistic fulldome pieces!!!
First he transformed a section of a Video Mapping piece he created about the Independance of Africa, then he transformed the dome into speaking faces and finally he created animations of the Cosmogonie Symbole.
For each work he took a different workflow for creation (AE, Heavy M, MadMappper), and the three pieces were delivered as single pre-rendered H265 files
He even had time to spatialize the soundtrack of the "IndepDaysBreath".
In Albert's words, "I'm a fulldome artist, and thanks to FCR, I found out about it."
Carina and Reese teamed up to create "Touch my dome/Cake World". While Rhys explored the possibilities of spatial audio applied to fulldome content creation by working with the 56.2 sound system of the Bochum Planetarium, Carina created a visual storytelling through the digital abstraction of her Cake World series. This series comprises art pieces created using a combination of cyanotype technique, fire, painting and transparent cake plates.
