Origin Story

— V-XL (Baptiste Tavernier) is a Tokyo-based, Franco-Spanish composer, independent curator, and creative technologist.

_ His artistic trajectory began in the invisible structures of sound. Trained in Music & Digital Arts, he spent years constructing sonic architectures—until a severe and permanent tinnitus suddenly altered his perception.

V-XL bridges the ancient concept of "cabinets of curiosities" with cyberpunk and science fiction. Deploying open-source frameworks, he architects decentralized art production alongside physical, futuristic sculptures built for next-gen collectors.

His visual language and structural designs are heavily influenced by the intersections of Cyber punk and Post-modernism​, HR. Giger, ​The 'Bristol Sound', Zdzisław Beksiński, Salvatore Sciarrino, Pierre Soulages, Zaha Hadid, Nihei​​​​​​​ Tsutomu, H. P. Lovecraft.
