Glucksmann Digital.net, short GD.net, is the "section" (which soon took the form of a whole website) dedicated to web development (and design) of custom websites, e-commerce stores; to graphics, desktop publishing and also to some 3D sculpting, even though I am not truly focused on this particular field, as I am mostly a programmer rather than a digital sculptor. Being the first website I ever coded, it is also the source from which all the others stemmed and where they find their root and place.

L'Atelier de Peinture is an online shop (and gallery) for all paintings, drawings and figurative arts I created over the last few years. It includes a short catalogue and links to other more specialistic websites like Saatchi and Deviant where my paintings are actually sold and shipped as original as well as framed reprints.

"Glucksmann Books", the most tormented of all my websites, the one which has changed more over time, the one also which has received more critics and attracted more dissent ( I don't complain though, as every artist should reckon with uncomprehension firstly) is NOT a publishing house, but rather a repository of my writings which , as of now, consist in three publications : "La gare de temps" (written in English), "Wasteland" (written in English),"Enigma" (written in Italian and not yet translated); all of which are distributed through KDP (Kindle) and Google Play in both digital and cartaceous format.

"The Hidden Ring", nothing mysterious, is a website for Oriental Studies, that is Eastern philosophies in all its forms : Buddhism, Zen, Yoga, Shamanism and all the other doctrines stemmed in the East. It has the purpose to create a global framework where other contributions might eventually take place like for example games and Android apps concerned with the very same matters : Taoism, Chinese Chess, Mahjonh, Zen Koi, to name but a few.

"Galaxy", finally, is an experiment, a collection of "Iframes" (that is, embedded websites created by others) built over a very beautiful JS background floating on the web (credits are quoted inside it) in order to have a way pass the time while browsing the whole story. Pool, Reversi, radio station,a map of the sky (stellarium) and a glimpse from the official Fox News streaming channel (I hope they won't get upset !).

This website, this effort to expand the boundaries of one's life into something more beautiful, more meaningful than the mere realm of things is hereby dedicated to the many friends and family I met and stayed with over the last years, whose names I am not here at liberty to reveal, bound by the vow of friendship, but they will anyway know theirs : H., H., M., M., M., L., N., M., I., D. . Thanks for all you did, and for having so patiently endured all my weirdness and all my antics. Thank you again, brothers.

"Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen." - D.H. Lawrence

"Andromeda" is an online bazaar selling custom merchandise, fashion & clothing items, collectibles. It is based on a sleek print-on-demand mechanism that is responsible for the creation, sale and shipping of the wares from the production sites straight into the customer's home. Being only a small POD website, it will contain only a few selected items, ranging from tee-shirts to steel watches, shoes, rugs, printed posters as well as some fancy 3D casting metal objects like rings and pendants.
