Motus Full-Dome Festival

Motus is a Fulldome Festival in Alishan, Taiwan. It blends art and technology to spotlight environmental wisdom. Organized by The Rebalance Renaissance Group led by Corbett Wall.

This exhibition in the indigenous village of Laiji features a 10-meter-high geodesic dome showcasing global artists' work on a 360-degree screen. With a strong focus on conservation, the festival merges visual art and music, promoting eco-conservation through culture, arts, learning, wellness, appreciation, science and technology.
 

Alejandro Rodriguez (dogrush) played a pivotal role in the festival as the artist in charge, producing an epic 360 video based on a day of the hunter "Mo'o Piconu." Alejandro also served as the technical director, designing the control software for the full dome with the help of Guillermo Deffis (GUI) and preparing the setup for projectors and montage. Alejandro also curated the content and invited several international artists to participate. 

The Cou tribe blessed the festival in their village, and the organizers aim to create a lasting impact by addressing the issue of young tribe members leaving for work and education in cities.

Corbett and his team are committed to building a sustainable learning and employment platform, encouraging the youth to return to their mountain home. Despite challenges, including the impact of COVID-19, the team decided to proceed with the event. Nature played a role in the decision, as a rainstorm cleared just in time for the festival opening, marked by tribal blessings and local participation.

The rebalance Renaissance Group emphasized the unique aspect of the festival, where everyone involved volunteers their time and expertise for the greater good, expressing gratitude for the collaborative effort.
