THE DOROTHY PROJECT

ART AND SCIENCE AT THE EDGE OF
SPACE AND BEYOND

We are a team of artists, engineers, and filmmakers capturing Earth from above, and using science-based immersive storytelling to study how that planetary perspective can expand and reshape human consciousness.

And see how we partner with the French and Canadian space agencies to send the INSTA360 Titan into the stratosphere

OUR VISION

DEMOCRATIZING THE OVERVIEW EFFECT

For decades, only a handful of astronauts have experienced the cognitive and emotional transformation of seeing Earth from space, what scientists call the Overview Effect. Dorothy is our answer to a fundamental question: can this experience be democratized through immersive technology, and can its psychological effects be measured, replicated, and amplified at scale?

Our research investigates measurable shifts in awe, nature-connectedness, and pro-environmental intention triggered by mediated spatial experience.

MEET DOROTHY

OUR IMMERSIVE CAPTURE SYSTEM

Dorothy is a custom-built scientific imaging module designed to deploy multiple synchronized 360° cameras and sensors into the stratosphere via high-altitude balloon, reaching altitudes of up to 40 km (131,000 ft). 

But what started as a stratospheric instrument is now becoming something more. In 2027 we'll start developing a CubeSat version of Dorothy to carry our custom high-definition 360° camera into low Earth orbit (550 km).
