Strengthening the identity of a heritage site as a place of wonder at the crossroads of cutting-edge technology and artistic creativity

Pathé, a leading film production and distribution company and movie theatre operator in Europe, wanted to strengthen the identity of the Géode, the iconic sphere at the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie in Paris. It commissioned Moment Factory to create a multimedia experience that plunges visitors into an immersive cinematic experience for the entire duration of their visit.

As soon as they enter the lobby, visitors are treated to a multimedia experience that combines projection mapping and spatialized sound, immersing them in different cinematic universes inspired by three major film genres: fantasy, science fiction and adventure. A mysterious forest that turns into an awe-inspiring dream. An interstellar voyage to explore unknown galaxies. A solar desert in search of lost civilizations.

In the projection room, a trompe-l’œil video offers visitors a unique 360-degree view of Parc de la Villette, both day and night, amplifying the sensory experience before the film begins.

Produced with technical support from Novelty, this collaborative project celebrates the Géode’s identity as a place of innovation and wonder. It also illustrates the potential of multimedia to creatively reinvent the visitor experience at these iconic sites.
