About the artwork
The "One Who Came Bearing Our Desires" is a split-screen video piece that explores a deeply narrative structure without fully revealing the story. With a retro visual style and an atonal, immersive soundtrack, the piece evokes a sense of tension and transformation while remaining open to interpretation.

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.
