Why 150 m d’altitude
Here, we bring together arts and sciences, movement and stillness, the material and the immaterial: hardware, software and wetware.
A performance capture studio sits alongside a darkroom, digital twins enter into dialogue with gestures passed down through generations. We think about technology from a hill in Le Vauclin, in contact with a territory and the people who live there.
We create, we think, we transmit: here, together.
Places, tools
Photography & video
A professional space equipped for shooting, filming, lighting, portraiture and visual installations. Infinity cove, black backdrops, continuous light, strobes: everything needed to give shape to an image.
Film developing & darkroom printing
A black-and-white darkroom for returning to gesture, to material, to slow time. A rare space for photographic experimentation and the passing on of craft.
Digital twins, animation & VR
A technology hub dedicated to immersive creation. From video games to virtual reality, from photogrammetry to interactive experiences, Cariality supports the most complex projects with cutting-edge tools.
Performance capture
A performance capture studio dedicated to recording movement and human performance. Body, hands and face: a complete pipeline, from capture to data processing.

Read the story
A message sent almost on instinct, a hesitant yes, then a journey. With Noor-Sharina Grondin, the residency becomes movement: encounters, heat, voices, territories. Here, research isn’t something you watch from a distance — it is felt, lived through, and sometimes shared like a life.
