Welcome. This ever evolving website is the portal for my art, writing and experimental projects. The activities are connected but presented as autonomous chapters, so please jump straight to the theme of interest. Apologies in advance for components not yet completed or posted.
The Art Altruism Project is a multi-year artistic and social experiment. Its primary purpose is the promotion of altruism and social cohesion in the French Alpine region, via the gifting of artwork by myself and other artists.
Le projet Art Altruisme est une expérience artistique et sociale pluriannuelle. Son objectif principal est de promouvoir l'altruisme et la cohésion sociale dans les Alpes françaises, grâce au don d'œuvres d'art réalisées par moi-même et d'autres artistes.
Dark Scenarios is the label under which I present my non-fiction writing. At present it consists of a series of future oriented essays:
I am creating science fiction art and stories. To be more precise, I am gradually building a portfolio of 2D and 3D art and linked science fiction descriptions and short stories, based on a global scenario that I have created called 2100 3 Fortresses. This imagined world is simultaneously violent, cruel, unequal, repressed, joyous, beautiful, bizarre and fascinating.
I completed my 35 year conventional career as an engineer and United Nations project manager in 2025. I have now moved onto a combination of roles: professional artist, amateur writer and local volunteer.
My wife Michelle is an independent jeweller. We work in partnership to create bespoke jewellery and enamels. Our joint work can be found at www.silverlynxdesign.com
Artificial Intelligence is now pervasive within the research and knowledge sectors – it is embedded in web browsers, document creation and graphics. It is already full capable of generating in depth self-contained document and artworks that can be mistaken or presented as human work. It is also sadly already a master of deception and copyright and intellectual property theft.
As an artist and devotee of the truth, I am hypersensitive to the opportunities, risks and injustices being dropped on us through the completely unregulated profit driven rush to AI. However I am also very interested in where a carefully managed combination of human artistic talent and AI can take us.
In general, for text, I do not use it at all. I will experiment with its use for graphics.
In that context, for the interim I have developed and employ in this website the following basic labelling system to indicate the form of content.
· PHC - Pure Human Content
· BC – Human and AI Blended Content
· AGC – Pure AI Generated Content
You will find these tags where relevant in both the text and selected graphical artworks.
My studio is in the Annecy region in the French Alps. I am always happy to meet other artists, writers and futurists.
