From one dimension to infinite possibilities​

​​

First Dimension Foundation (FDF) supports the creation, development, and dissemination of bold interdisciplinary art. Founded by composer and artist Philippe Treuille, FDF champions projects that work in the borderlands between sound, image, ritual, and narrative.

​

First Dimension Foundation takes its name from a simple reframing: time is the first dimension. We create collaborative art and music about what it means to live a human life, a flicker of decades, inside a universe that has existed for 14 billion years and will go on for more than a googol more.

​

That perspective shapes everything we do. We commission composers, filmmakers, animators, and interdisciplinary creators whose work pushes beyond traditional forms, and we stay with them for the long arc, from first idea through professional recordings, films, animations, and multimedia collaborations that let new work live beyond a single performance. Through listening parties, installations, screenings, and community partnerships, we build encounters audiences can step inside rather than just watch.

​

FDF connects artists, performers, technologists, and educators across continents and disciplines, making possible projects of uncommon scale and sensitivity.

​

Our vision is a home for art that is expansive, emotionally resonant, and deeply human, art that moves through dimensions, and invites us to do the same.
