[Le français suit] Designed by the artist in the late 1990s, the Panoscope is a single channel panoramic projection apparatus and a picture taking method adapted to its geometry. Luc Courchesne’s photographic series Journal panoscopique, begun in 2000, presents anamorphic representations of the surrounding space as seen by the optical system he uses. The works call for a form of interactivity, with viewers encouraged to rotate the disc on itself to select one of the multiple views offered by this photographic representation of the entire horizon.
Luc Courchesne is a pioneer in digital creation. From interactive portraits to immersive experiences, he crafts innovative and engaging works that have earned him prestigious awards such as the Governor General’s Award in Media Arts (2021), the Paul-Émile Borduas Award (Prix du Québec, 2019), the Grand Prize of the ICC Biennale in Tokyo (1997), and an Award of Distinction from Ars Electronica (1999) in Linz, Austria. His works are included in major collections and have been presented in approximately 180 exhibitions worldwide. A graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1974 and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1984, he studied under Anthony Mann, Michael Snow, and Otto Piene. He is a founding member of the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), an honorary professor at Université de Montréal, and a lecturer at McGill University. Courchesne is also Vice President of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

Conçu par l'artiste à la fin des années 1990, le Panoscope est un dispositif de projection panoramique monocanale et une méthode de prise de vue adaptée à sa géométrie. La série photographique Journal panoscopique de Luc Courchesne, commencée en 2000, présente des anamorphoses de l’espace environnant tel que vu par le système optique qu’il utilise. Les œuvres font appel à une forme d'interactivité, les spectateurs étant invités à faire tourner le disque sur lui-même pour privilégier l’un ou l’autre des multiples points-de-vue qu’offre cette représentation photographique de l’horizon dans son entièreté.
