Portrait of Gilles Dubuc, in black and white

Gilles Dubuc is an artist living in the south of France.

He has made products and platforms for artists for nearly twenty years. From 2008 to 2013 he ran inspi.re, a photography community he founded. From 2009 to 2013 he worked at deviantART. Founded in 2000, it became the largest online community of artists, and for a generation of digital artists it was the place where they first showed their work and found an audience.

From 2023 to 2026 he was the CTO of Layer and co-created the Layer Canvas, a display made to show living generative art. He co-designed its hardware with DEMO, oversaw its manufacturing, and is a named inventor on its patent application, High-End Display for Displaying Dynamically Evolving Generative Art.

What a machine sees with its eyes closed: an untrained neural network left running with nothing to look at, traced by a million grains of light.
