About VoxLux (formerly Paradise2012) and Xavier Paradiso (formerly / Todd Stock)

Since moving to Silicon Valley in 1989, Xavier developed two parallel careers, technical and artistic.  Leveraging a degree in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Austin he fulfilled his first career goal working at NASA Ames Research Center’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. During that time he was inspired to begin exploring the artistic and spiritual potential of digital media.  He founded Paradise2012 and began performing live projection visuals at PsyTrance events under the stage name Dr. Paradise.  After a few years Xavier transitioned into the special effects industry at Abekas Video Systems, earning the Post Award for creation of a revolutionary new control system for the flagship video effects system.  He later fulfilled his second career goal at Silicon Graphics (SGI) as the sole Digital Media Solutions Engineer, earning special commendation from the VP of Advanced Projects at IMAX, and contributing to work that lead to a Patent. All the while Xavier continued development of his custom graphics performance software and performing worldwide.  In 2015, Xavier achieved his third career goal of starting his own business, VoxLux, and  wishes to thank all those whose support and encouragement made it possible!

(In 2019, to kick off a new stage of life, Todd changed his name to Xavier Paradiso)

Currently VoxLux is the vehicle for both Xavier’s passion for Live Event Visuals, and is also a fully incorporated entity used for IT Support work (“The Day Job”).  😉
