Théo Déchanez - ECAL
Théo Déchanez is a Swiss 3D artist, designer, and art director working at the crossroads of cinema, technology, and digital art, where images become a field of both aesthetic and narrative experimentation. Inspired by natural phenomena, he translates chaos into digital environments shaped by light and composition with cinematic depth. A graduate and current assistant at ECAL Bachelor of Media & Interaction Design in Switzerland, he develops a moving practice, both technical and sensitive, with works shown at MMMAD, KIKK, GIFF, DAZ, Milano Design Week, and Expo 2025 Osaka.
Vulcan
Vulcan is an immersive journey to the heart of telluric powers conceived by Théo Déchanez. It is a tribute to volcanologists and volcanoes, exploring themes such as human smallness and the fascination of the immensity of natural forces. Divided into two parts, the narrative opposes the vision of a volcanologist getting as close as possible to a crater, to that of the god of fire, forges and volcanoes, the eponym of the experience. Vulcan is inspired by the work of Haroun Tazieff and the couple Katia and Maurice Krafft, and is an extension of a reflection begun during the creator’s thesis on the reconstruction of myths using digital tools.
