Resumen

The fulldome projections at the Exploratório’s Hemispherium in Coimbra, as part of the Electronic Literature Organization’s (ELO) conference, highlighted the social-technology of fulldome projections and a new genre of e-lit. The examples presented addressed the issues of the conference specifically: interconnected global climate and migration flows and crises; animal perspectives on human exploitation; challenge of sign language systems; and Portuguese language and literature. These examples also allude to a pre-history of the dome modality from ancient buildings to church domes to expanded cinema’s movie-dromes. Analogous to hypertext which lead to early e-lit, planetariums’ domes function as a new mode and communal space for e-lit and knowledge production. The essay concludes with a discussion about teaching fulldome productions and a proposal of a poetics of the firmament; the fulldome can create immersive visualizations and soundscapes of e-poetry, stories, data, and more at every college and university.
