About the artwork
"Our Doom and Our Pleasure" is an atmospheric work that explores the tension within a community unsettled by its own choices. Embracing an open-ended approach, the piece avoids fixed meaning, inviting viewers to interpret it freely. Visually, it blends older techniques like AnimateDiff with cutting-edge tools to create an aesthetic that is both sharp and idiosyncratic. An oppressive soundtrack deepens the immersive experience, reinforcing the emotional weight of the piece.

Audio explanation
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.
