In computing, WYSIWYG (/ˈwɪziwɪɡ/ WIZ-ee-wig), the acronym for what you see is what you get,refers to software that allows content to be edited in a form that resembles its appearance when printed or displayed as a finished product, such as a printed document, web page, slide presentation or in this case printed creations...
I am fortunate to be part of the generation that witnessed the birth of the first computers.
From my first Commodore when I was barely 10 years old to today’s PCs, I have had the chance to experiment with all kinds of manipulations.
My first steps in programming with “Basic,” assembling and disassembling my own PCs, countless hours lost tearing my hair out with the early versions of Windows, particularly trying to network multiple computers. Creating my own job thanks to the advent of the internet—these are all events that have connected me to the digital world for the past 40 years.
To this good fortune is added the fact that I grew up in a family where art, in various forms, found its place.
So, with this cultural and digital journey, it’s only natural that I would feel the desire to express myself using the tool that has accompanied me for so many years.
For the past ten years, I have been practicing in the strictest anonymity, without any search for visibility. My work is entirely digital, intended for rigid and inalienable print media.
Yours, Olivier
