✨ We were honoured to take part in the 25th edition of the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival in Toronto, presenting Wilfred Buck’s Star Stories inside our 6-meter projection dome.

Installed at the TIFF Lightbox Gallery, the dome became an intimate portal into Cree cosmology — a space where audiences could experience the powerful voice and stories of Wilfred Buck in an immersive 360° format.

At NEST, we’re always excited to see our domes used in unique and meaningful ways — and storytelling doesn’t get more powerful than this.

A heartfelt thank you to Lisa Jackson, HUBBLO, and the entire imagineNATIVE team for their vision, trust, and collaboration.

Hello VJ creators! In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to convert GLSL shaders from ShaderToy into working NestDrop/MilkDrop presets using HLSL.

Whether you're just getting started or exploring shader art for the first time, this guide will walk you through the entire process—from copying code to debugging and creating your own audio-reactive visuals!

🤝 Since 2015, NEST Immersion's mission is to help artists bring their digital art into the fulldome medium.

🥰 Today I was more than happy to give a hand to our old friend Mirek Hamet from Eden Creative Studio to do some tests in the massive 18M dome of Statera expérience.

🎛️ We set up the VJ computer with Resolume and NestNDI in a few clicks to send a butter smooth Fulldome 4K@60 to the NEST video server already on site. The other advantage of using NestNDI is to be able to send the audio feed with the NDI stream to guarantee the synchronization.

🤫 Bonus, I had the opportunity to get a small but mind blowing 🤯 overview of the Domension: "Void to Vision", by Valhalla Project

I can't wait to see the final results at the end of June! 🤩

🌎🔥 What an incredible week! For Earth Day, we built two domes in Montreal and welcomed thousands of people into an unforgettable journey through our planet’s most breathtaking —and vulnerable — landscapes.

From soaring above rainforests to diving into coral reefs, We presented two films: our new piece, AROUND THE WORLD, and the award-winning 360 film BACKYARD WILDERNESS. Through immersive storytelling we're sparking awareness, emotion, and action.

Huge thanks to our team, partners everyone who came, shared, and supported. The energy was amazing — let’s keep it going. 💚🌿
