ABOUT THE DOROTHY PROJECT On April 8, 2024, a small team of Quebec artists, scientists, and videographers launched a module dubbed “Dorothy” equipped with several 360° cameras into the stratosphere, successfully capturing images of the Moon’s shadow crossing the Megantic region at over 4,000 km/h.
The project evolved through the collective work of a team of artists, scientists, and inveterate dreamers, and thanks to crowdfunding that succeeded beyond the team’s expectations. Today, The Dorothy Project brings together immersive virtual reality experiences, environmental documentaries, and a reflection on our place in the universe based on scientific research.
The Dorothy Project follows an ecopoetic approach: triggering “the overview effect” to encourage ecological awareness through inspiring images of our planet.
