About the artwork
"Maybe I Got Carried Away" is a unique work in Panaviscope’s body of art, standing as his only photorealistic piece to date. Created during his time as a tester for OpenAI’s Sora model, the film was selected for Sora Selects, an event showcasing standout works made with the technology. It was screened in New York on January 30, 2025, alongside films by Boldtron, Nathan Boey, and other artists.
Blending narration and music, the piece tells a story that is both humorous and profound—a tale of a lost city reclaimed, exploring transformation, imagination, and the delicate balance between control and chaos.

Listen to Panaviscope discuss this work.
Panaviscope (a.k.a Alex Duloz) is a visual artist and multi-instrumentalist from Geneva, Switzerland, who composes, sings, and plays all the instruments you can hear on his tracks. Panaviscope is as much a visual project as it is a musical one, with a focus on evoking nostalgia for a fantasized era.
Alex studied arts in Los Angeles, where he trained in 3D, classical animation, and drawing. It was there that he learned coding, with a strong focus on generative code using JavaScript. His tracks have been played on national indie radios in France and Switzerland, among other countries.
Alex employs various cutting-edge techniques with the intention of creating timeless pieces, ranging from depth maps to granular synthesis.
