The association forArts, Sciences
& Technology
in Motion

Where every art form meets every technology, we bring together creators, researchers and audiences to imagine, document and pass on new Caribbean cultural experiences.

Intangible heritage · Motion capture
Project 01

Séquences Éphémères

Preserving and championing the intangible heritage of the Caribbean. Through motion capture, the project records and passes on music and dance practices — rooted in tradition or open to the present — in a living archive where past and future speak to each other.

Performance capture · Production
Part of Séquences Éphémères
Project 02

SOLIBO Studio

Making motion capture available beyond the major studios. SOLIBO supports artists, directors, researchers and emerging creators — body, hand and face capture, performance direction, and a pipeline through to final assets — from the Caribbean, across European, African and American time zones.

Project 03

Mocap Week

Time set aside for motion capture and its many applications. In partnership with Mocap Vault: hands-on workshops, technical training and live artistic performances, closing with a public showing where knowledge turns into what comes next.

Tangible heritage · Volumetric digitisation
Project 04

Archéologie Caraïbes

The tangible counterpart to Séquences Éphémères. Photogrammetry, laser scanning and NIR scanning applied to the archaeological treasures of the Caribbean. Working with scientists and actors, we build volumetric digital archives and bring back to life the knowledge that gives these images their depth.

International artist residency · Le Vauclin
Project 05

150 m d'altitude

A residency devoted to experiment and to the meeting of art, digital tools and performance. On the heights of Le Vauclin, it offers artists a space for research, creation and transmission — photography, video, motion capture, VR and a film darkroom.

Initiatives

Work connected to the association, led by its artistic director Georges-Emmanuel Arnaud

These initiatives are carried out with regional and international partners, in fields the association does not cover on its own.

They widen the network, open new ground, and in turn feed the work carried out by the association.

CFCDB
Caribbean Film Crew Database

A trilingual directory of Caribbean film crews — more than 130 roles across 15 departments. Making a sector visible and structured, when it is scattered across islands, languages and employment statuses.

KÒ Library
An open corpus of faces

A corpus of faces from Caribbean, West African and Indigenous communities, built with open-hardware scanning equipment. The library opens up part of the archiving work carried out with the association, under a governance protocol devoted to consent and to how the material may be used.

La Maison de la Mémoire
A network of sovereign archives

The place where what we produce is archived, alongside what our partners produce. Archives that stay close to the people who made them, linked to one another by shared practices rather than gathered somewhere else.

LŪMEN
A touring network

A network that circulates works and artists, from Martinique to Sápmi. Sending creations beyond their home territory, and bringing in those that come from elsewhere — supported by the Institut Français through the PIDA 2026 programme.

Ecosystem

ANISOTROPIE grows and evolves within a composite ecosystem.

People who carry the gestures and the knowledge. Places that host the work. Partners who extend what the association sets in motion.

The association connects, documents and passes on. Everyone brings what they know how to do — and the whole holds together because no one claims to do it all alone.

01 — The people
Men, women,
and children

An association is first of all the people who make it. Artists, dancers, musicians, researchers, technicians, memory keepers, volunteers.

And the audiences who receive it: young people, elders, people with limited access, and those who live here.

02 — The places
Spaces that welcome
Studio K-AREA
Le Vauclin · accreditation under way
Transmission, research and creation: photo and video studio, motion capture, 3D scanning and printing, photogrammetry, film darkroom. The 150 m d’altitude residency is hosted here.
La Piscine
Le Vauclin · Stage
Facing the studio, a stage built over the old swimming pool whose name it keeps. Machines on one side, bamboo on the other. A place to rehearse, create, build, show, shoot, share back and welcome — multimodal and cross-disciplinary by design. ANISOTROPIE is hosted here.
Le Vauclin · The table
Where we welcome those who come to the studio, to the stage or on residency. Cooking becomes a way of exchanging: time, craft and produce from the garden, all put at the service of hospitality. Conversations go further once people have eaten together.
03 — The partners
Knowledge,
and know-how

Independent organisations, each bringing its own knowledge and craft: the stage, choreography, digitisation, production, distribution, transmission, and the structuring of the sector.

About

Preserving and sharing cultural heritage through digital tools.

Founded in 2018, ANISOTROPIE is a non-profit association exploring the links between culture, heritage and digital technology. We work to preserve and reimagine tangible and intangible heritage by creating artistic, immersive experiences open to as many people as possible.

Through a fair and collaborative approach to digital tools, we aim to make heritage more accessible, to stir the collective imagination, and to reinvent the way we tell our stories — the better to understand our present and to envisage a shared future.

Artistic direction
Georges-Emmanuel ARNAUD
Visual artist · Photographer · Technology maker

He is the artistic director of ANISOTROPIE, runs Studio K-AREA in Le Vauclin and leads several initiatives in his own name, with regional and international partners.

His practice runs through sculpture, photography, photogrammetry, motion capture and immersive media. It puts digital tools at the service of the memory of gestures — those that are passed on, and those that are disappearing.

Any interests shared with partner organisations are declared.

Support the living memory of the Caribbean.

Every donation goes directly towards recording, archiving and passing on Caribbean heritage — capture equipment, artist residencies, transmission workshops. ANISOTROPIE is a French non-profit association: your donation may entitle you to a tax deduction.
