DOROTHY'S MISSIONS
EXPLORATION OF EARTH INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS
Each stratospheric campaign is structured as a distinct mission, inspired by the logic of space exploration. While our broader focus remains Earth as a whole system, each mission isolates a specific phenomenon within this complex and interconnected environment.
We concentrate on singular natural events or dynamics, such as atmospheric systems, extreme weather, or other planetary processes, and capture them from a unique perspective. Each mission becomes a narrative lens, combining scientific observation with immersive storytelling to explore both the phenomenon itself and its broader context, including human impact and environmental change.
These missions also serve as platforms for collaboration. For each project, we partner with universities, researchers, artists, environmental organizations, and space agencies, to expand the scientific and cultural scope of the work. Our role is to translate these insights into accessible, immersive experiences, leveraging our expertise in VR, filmmaking, and science communication to bring complex systems closer to a wider audience.

OUR CURRENT MISSIONS
Here, you can find a list of projects currently in development, seeking financial partners and organizations.
INFERNO
IN PROGRESS
Documenting the wildfires devastating the Rocky Mountains of western Canada.
We’ll follow firefighting teams on the ground and Indigenous communities whose lives remain deeply connected to the forests. Using custom-built 360° infrared cameras, we’ll film the fires from the air and from within, combining visual immersion with scientific data collection.
TORNADO
IN PROGRESS
Following tornado chasers across Canada and the United States to explore how their fieldwork can advance scientific research. We are developing high-speed drones, ground probes, and a tiny version of Dorothy, to capture tornadoes from multiple perspectives and attempt to film inside their vortex in 360 degrees. This documentary will plunge viewers into the heart of a living supercell, allowing them to experience from within how these colossal storms form, evolve, and unleash their power.
AURORA
IN DEVELOPMENT
Capturing the Northern Lights from within the stratosphere and explore the intrinsic relationship between the Sun and the Earth, highlighting how our planet's magnetic field protects us from the Sun's and space radiation.
We will head to Yellowknife, located in Canada's Northwest Territories, just 512 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle.
BLUE DOT
IN DEVELOPMENT
Deploy a custom 360° imaging CubeSat into low Earth orbit at 550 km, and bring the most transformative view in human history to anyone with a headset.
Our goal : democratize the Overview Effect, and measure its psychological impact at a scale never previously possible.
